10 week old Easter Eggers - Pullet or Cockerel?

[eje99]

Hello All,
I'm trying to sex these chicks, as I need to re-home some roosters due to overcrowding in my coop. I have my guesses as to what they are, but was hoping for some of your expert opinions. . . I have 8 total, but I'll limit this post to 4. I'm not sure how to do this with the pictures, but I'll give it a go:

The first is Bella, who I believe to be a pullet:




The next one is Lola, who I also believe to be a pullet:


Next is Robin, and I'm guessing a cockerel based on the 3 rows in the comb:


And number 4 is "Red" - I'm also putting my money on cockerel:


Your thoughts are definitely appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi, your birds are gorgeous! I love Easter eggers...I used to have ameraucanas and found that these breeds are more difficult to sex based off the type of comb they sport and the lack of waddles. I used to have the best luck by looking at the tail feather growth. In my (amateur) opinion, Bella and robin are pullets. Lola and red have that slight curve in the tail feather that says roo to me. I could definitely be wrong though.

How old are they? It looks like you're right with the possible exception of Bella.

They're about 10 weeks. Thanks for your thoughts.

Thank you! I do love 'em! Thanks for your input . . . although I really hope Lola is a girl!

Lola is the only pullet in the group.

Bella is a pullet, the easter egger near her is a cockerel. Lola is pullet. Robin and red are cockerels.

Then Bella is a cockerel too. Lola is your only girl.

Bella is not a pullet. Too big of a comb and the dark blue leaking through his wings is a giveaway.

Lola IS the only pullet

Thanks everyone. I'm a bit disappointed that Bella turns out to be Beau, but oh well!
On another note - Red is definitely a little 'roo - he started crowing today!
