Ok i have read a bunch of post bout guessing gender. So lets see if i have this little chickie figured out. This EE is 10 over weeks old and my guess it is a pullet. I say that because she has no long pointed feathers at the hackle, I don't See any rust spots on the shoulders, and her comb is tiny tiny with no redl. So do you all agree?

Good deduction! Just to point out, though, this bird to too young for hackle or saddle feathers to be an indicator of sex, those usually come in around 12 weeks but can be later. But you're dead on regarding the color and comb. She'll lay you nice green eggs.

Well, the kittens aren't so cute anymore and the easter egger cockerels are in the freezer. Plus, I think offering them as "prizes" scared folks off! So, I'm still posting quotes, if you know it let me know. I'm very enamored of this new one, it may hang around for a while!

They get them in earlier than 12 weeks, I have 8 week old chicks who are obviously getting hackle and saddle feathers.
