what is my chickens breed

[lovemywhatwhat]

HELP!!! I bought this beautiful bird from a woman who sold me a cochin roo who said they where about 5 weeks old (will now be 7 weeks old). She said she thinks it might be an EE roo but I am not so sure and im not sure weather this chick is a hen or a roo someone help please.

I wish I could be of assistance to you but I'm afraid I'm not good at sexing chickens. I myself am just getting acquainted with them. Maybe someone else from this site will be able to assist you better than I but if I was to be a guessing person I would take a guess that you have an Easter egger roo

@Mother Hen thank you that is what she said she thought it was but I have never had an Easter Egger and for some reason it is very protective of the cochin that we bought with it

I'd say its a cockerel...but I don't think it's a Cochin....
....looks gamebirdish, but maybe slim because young, but I'm not great on breeds.

Like I mentioned earlier let's see what a more experienced person says

My cousin who is more used to chickens says to look at it's feet, if it has a spur started then it's a roo and if no spur then it's a hen

well looks like it is a rooster I could see the spurs starting to come through.

Looks like a cockerel to me at that age. Definitely not an EE. I'd say Silver Campine if the earlobes are white otherwise Egyptian Fayoumi.
