Help! Sexing Easter Egger

SwartPeper · Mar 27, 2017

Hi all. I bought two EE's this weekend (well I was told they are EE's) because I am still a newbie, I would appreciate it if you could help me tell what sex they are? The dark one is only 3 weeks and the lighter one 4 weeks, here are some photo's.

Really hoping for pullets!

But after reading a few threads I have a lot of doubts ...

I don't see enough concentrated red on the shoulders or alarming comb color to say the light one is male, at this point. The dark one does look female as of now.

Thank you SunHwaKwon! I hope it stays like that, I will post more pictures over a week or two. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Both look like pullets for now, but they're too young to be sure.

What sex did they end up being?? One of my chicks looks exactly like your light one and I don't need a rooster on my hands!

UPDATE: The dark one is a pullet, and the light one ended up being a rooster, meet Mr Tikka:

Thanks for posting what they turned out to be. It is always nice to know the result.
