Hen or roo? Easter egger?

I bought 4 straight run Easter Egger. Was thinking one is a roo but due to coloring I’m guessing it’s a barred rock cross so might be hen. They are 8 weeks old.

I'm no barred rock expert, but if I had to make a determination, I'd say, "Congratulations, it's a BOY!"
TBH, I'm not convinced it's an EE, either, but your other three ladies certainly look "right!"

 

[HorseGirlAbby]

That's for sure a cockerel, with that big red comb.

 

[Tookie]

Yes, that's a cockerel.

 

[OrpingtonManiac]

Yep, definitely a cockerel

What do you think he could be? His tail feathers have green tints in the sun and kinda golden around his neck. I’ll try to get better pictures tomorrow.

Any healthy black bird is going to have iridescent feathers.

I'm not quite sure what he is but I was thinking possibly an Olive Egger? He's not a Barred Rock, nor a Cuckoo Maran. I think Olive Egger fits and would make more sense since you got him as an Easter Egger. But I mean he could be an Easter Egger, technically they can look like anything since they have no breed standard.

But he doesn't have a crest from a legbar cross, nor a pea comb from araucana crosses, honestly I wouldn't bet this boy carries the blue gene.
