8 week old Easter Egger genders?

[Bringingupwildflowers]

I have 6 Easter Eggers that are 8 weeks old. I think I have a good idea of their gender s but I want to be sure because next week I’m sending the Roos to their new (loving) homes.

Here are my EE babies. Any input would be great because this is the first time raising this breed for our family.

Chick #1 (one I’m most confused about)

Chick #2

Chick #3

Chick #4

Chick#5

Chick #6

thank you!

Chick #5 and #6 are definitely roosters. Your first bird looks rather like a pullet to me.

 

[Painted Calls]

Agree. #5 and #6 are your only cockerels.

Yeah our #1 has me confused because the comb isn’t an exact pea shape like our others and it’s a little pinker but compared to the cockerels, the comb is still very small.

Generally, in pea combed birds, size and colour of the wattles is the best indicator, as far as headgear goes.

5 and 6 only roos

Gotcha. Thank you. In chick #5 I can tell he’s most likely a Roo by his attitude toward the other males but he has no wattles that I can see. Sexting chickens is such an art! Lol

He has a straight comb with a beard, which differs in presentation from a pea comb.

You're welcome—your Golden Laced Wyandotte is a cockerel as well, by the way.
