Is this a female or male easter egger?

[HensAmongCedars]

I read the thread about sexing easter eggers and now I am concerned I have a roo, not a pullet. "Cordelia" is about three weeks old. https://flic.kr/p/FbcLoQ Is it too early to know? Thanks for any help!

It's far too young to tell with any accuracy. If you can post updated photos in 7-11 weeks, we'll be able to help you a lot more.

Thank you. I'll do that. I'm just a bit nervous because I live in an area where roosters are banned.

Wow...very nice pictures. You have a beautiful bird. I can't weigh in as I don't have a lot of experience. I am a first timer and have an easter egger that I think is a male. My only one. Very disappointed. Mine has a much longer tail. Yours looks more female than mine. But again, I don't have much experience. Best of luck!

Can we get a picture of the comb?

Right now, it looks like a pullet, but keep an eye out for deep, dark red coming in on the shoulders/wings.

ah the curse of the deep red over the wings

I was thinking pullet also. But that's just a wild guess very young still to tell for sure. How's the comb look and dark pink it red.

I started calling them "the red patches of death" after I heard someone on here use that phrase.... I think I've only seen one bird who grew them and didn't turn into the cockerel... and she is to date the prettiest EE I've ever seen.

Cordelia has a very light pink comb that is tiny. I'll get my husband to take a picture later- he's a photographer, so his pictures come out better than mine. Right now, he is hard at work on the coop, so I'm loathe to interrupt that process- the girls are getting too big for the brooder!

Thanks everyone! I'll look out for the wing spots. I have no clue what I'll do if she is a roo. I'm really not allowed one, but I do live at the end of a dirt road with one neighbor....
