New chickens to replace the ones I lost to predator.

[Pbccmom]

Hello, so I ough two new chickens a little younger than my surviving australorp that is 4-5 months . These are 3-4 months. Sold to me as an Easter egger and a cinnamon queen. The cinnamon queen looked like a rooster but lady at supply store said it was was a hen. Can you help me confirm. It seems like a roo to me. Behavior is a bit aggressive maybe due to change in environment. It pecked my larger Australop nothing bad . They seem to be interactive fine now. A bit tense between the cinnamon queen and the Australop but all coming from the new cinnamon queen. Please help.

How old? I don't see any male specific feathers, but that definitely looks like a male color pattern.

They said around 3 months. Seems feathers are not all in either.

Without doubt a cockerel and not a cinnamon queen.

I'm gonna say male then. A female's comb won't be that red until just before they start laying (usually between 16 and 20something weeks). Male specific pointy saddle feathers don't start coming in until about 12 weeks, so that's probably why I can't see any. I'd bet money you will see pointy saddle feathers in another 1-3 weeks.

Any idea on the breed. I am new to chicken breeds. I saw cinnamon queen roo s and white so then what is he?

Exactly. It's a cockerel and some kind of Easter egger. The lady at the store doesn't know what she's talking about. Bring him back and demand a refund or a replacement, because you paid for a female.

Some sort of Easter egger.

His bright red wing feathers say male.

A pretty Easter Egger cockerel, could you show pictures of the other one too?
