Easter egger, male or female?

[Eva Chu]

i bought this 9 weeks old easter egger last week from a breeder and been told that she is a pullet; however, a friend saw the chicken today and told me this might be a Roo. What do you think?

I think it's a pullet. I agree the red on the wings was distracting at first, but she also has red on her breast, and the color is even, not blotchy. Her comb doesn't look male, either, from what I can see, but a better comb shot could help.

EE can be tough! Your bird has me sort of stumped. Going by color, head, conformation - my gut says pullet. Feathering has me a little confused!!!!! 85% pullet 15 % cockerel.

I agree sourland...... I would like to see a picture again at 4 months. This one is a doozie!

Any spur buds on the legs?

Both pullets and cockerels will have spur buds.

That's a hard one. Coloring and stance scream roo, but no tell tale signs right now. Can't wait to see a picture in the future! Keep us updated!

I'm going to say 95% pullet! I think you would have some reddening of the comb by now if it was a cockerel!

Tricky... but I say pullet!
