Cluck Norris was a freebie with my Meyer order. Ive got a couple guesses as to his breed, but I’m curious what the experts think he is? He was hatched on (I think) June 3rd, so he’d be about 10 weeks old now.

I’m still so green, I’m not sure of anything. I ordered two Easter egger hens- they are both black. But he’s (she?) definitely got the same temperament. I got him (her?) as a “flock defender” freebie when I bought the ladies.
She's 100% female. Her color pattern speaks her true gender.
Male of her type would have black breasts, & red patches, of course long pointy hackles, & saddle feathers.
 
I’ve heard plenty of hens turning out to be roosters- not so much the other way around. Now I know that EE are a hybrid and come in different colors. But I gotta ask about what I thought were ee pullets. I know the photos aren’t the best, but they are difficult to get close too (same as Cluck, who apparently needs a new name.)
