Easter Egger Sexing "tips and tricks" *Pictures Included*

Hello! I wanted to share a post regarding telltale signs you have an Easter Egger cockerel. This was only my experience, and I hope it helps somebody identify whether they have girls or boys. Basically this is not a for sure guide, just hopefully a helpful post.

I was able to tell my cockerel at around 4-6 weeks old, and here are a few pictures to help.

(Sulo's tail feathers are narrow and upright.)
















This is Munk an Easter Egger pullet to compare. Same age, but the feathering in is very different. Sulo's "big boy" feathers came in later then Munk's "big girl" feathers.






Sulo and Munk. (same breed/age just to see the difference)




Hope this helps someone! Easter Eggers are hard to sex, and this may not be every case, but it certainly was here and I hope these differences help people tell who is who

I know I had meant this post to help other people tell whether they had girls or boys. I just wanted to show how they were feathering in differently and some tips for telling boy/girl in this breed. Sulo is a really common EE rooster color, and Munk is a somewhat common hen color for the breed just trying to help others heh

I was not able to tell hackle/saddle feathers because I was new at the time, but I was lucky for such a good comparison. Sulo also would stand in front of the 3 pullets I had, between me and the girls, even when he was 2 weeks old. But his comb didn't get pink until 4-5 weeks. By 5 weeks he was on his way to a new home with 11 Easter Egger pullets lol.

Yep Chris's post pointed out my mistake in the title! I realized people would think I was asking for help. So I rephrased it. Sorry Chris I hadn't meant to sound rude if I did in my correction post
