4 weeks - too soon to tell gender?

[Tracyree]

I have two 4 week old chicks. The white/black is an Easter egger. The "blue" is a blue isbar. Too soon to guess gender?

Too early for the Easter Egger, but that Isbar has a really big, pink comb for only 4 weeks old. It's a cockerel.

From what I understand, Easter Eggers that are black and white are typically Roos.

Two Roos. Bwwwaaaaaa.

Female Easter Eggers can be black and white. The patches of white on the shoulders is a bit concerning, but it could still be a pullet.

Can you get a picture of them in sunlight?

Unfortunately I think you have two cockerels.

Well poo.

Don't lose hope yet. I have a black and white easter-egger hen. I thought she would end up a rooster according to everything I was told to look out for, but she just laid her first egg last week. It's pale pink!



She was sold as an easter-egger and has slate legs, but must be a mix of some kind. Her egg is in the center of the bottom row. She was the friendliest of all my chicks.
