11 week old Easter egger: pullet or cockerel?

[EmmaDonovan]

We bought two golden EEs together when they were one day old. They are 11 weeks now and both are supposed to be females but they look very different.

Sorry about the photo quality. My roommate's out of town and I didn't have anyone to hold her/him for me so I did the best I could from outside the coop. I thought they'd be a little more sedate at night but they never stop moving when I'm around (they always think they're getting treats, hm, I wonder why? ). The other thirteen kept photo bombing and I got a ton of hilariously bad photos. I picked the best ones I could.

At the bottom is one photo of the other (female) EE for comparison.

Probably a cockerel with the comb/wattles so big and colorful at that age. Within a few weeks it will start showing male specific feathering if it is indeed a cockerel, so I would wait a bit if you cannot keep males.

My vote is cockerel with that comb and wattles

Same it's a bit of difficult to see through the wire though

Darn.

He's a good bit smaller than our other golden EE. I was really hoping I was wrong.

We cannot have roos where we live and this will be our second one.
