Early EE Pics, **UPDATED PICS July 25th 7.5 weeks old now*****

I know it's too early to tell on these 2 but if you think you might want to guess please do and I'll update each week and see if you are the "master" at sexing EE's, or if you just want to guess and tell me why you guess the way you do.  Remember this is for fun until they are a little older, but take your best guess on these 2.  I'm thinking both are pullets, but the grey one could make me change my mind later...

Thanks

Updated pictures @ 4 weeks old, lot's have changed since the last pics, Any Guesses?

 

@ 4 weeks I'm saying 2 pullets, the gray one now called Gravy I'm sure will be a pullet now and be a black & white, Biscuit still resembles a pullet in color so my best guesses are 2 pullets, anyone else agree?

 

First EE "Blondie" 9 days old

Welcome to the ee guessing game. Here's my thread (going to update some photos soon) with some good comb info.

Thanks for the replies, I hope this will be a fun game of guessing and to be able to see the progression during the next few weeks.  I'm thinking 1 roo and 1 hen.

 

Anybody else want to give their opinion?

Adorable chicks.  Unfortunately at this age, it's not possible to do anything but random guessing.  It's not about 'expertize' when they're so young. And they're too old for even an experienced vent sexer to have a go at them.  They just need a bit more time.

This is supposed to be just for fun, for example:  Someone may have had an EE that looked like one of mine and make a guess either roo or hen, I know they are too young, that is why I titled "Too early"  I guess I thought it could be entertaining to just throw out a guess bases on color or whatever you wanted to guess on????

Hmm ... I'd say so far, 1 looks like a girl, and 2 might be a boy!

Depends on if they get that red in or not ;0

 Thanks fallenleeves, I'm hoping for 1 rooster out of these 2.  1 seems to be coloring like a girl, but 2 does give me hope for a rooster.  I'll post pics again next week and we'll see if you're right!!!
