So now that I had a roo in my hens and saw someone on Facebook talking about beards on Easter eggers i am concerned that I have two more roos!

I am praying I am wrong, will you please help? They are almost 13 weeks old.

What does beards on Easter eggers have to do with whether your chickens are pullets or cockerels?I agree, pullets

Pullets. They both have a female specific pattern.

People on Facebook are typically morons when it comes to chickens. Most EE's have beards. It has zero to do with sex.

One of the groups on Facebook had a discussion saying beards meant boys, I had never heard that but it made me nervous

By that logic, all Faverolles, d'Anvers, bearded Polish, bearded Silkies, d'Uccles etc are males.

That Facebook group needs some basic chicken knowledge. What a bunch of maroons.

They were just talking about Easter eggers. I am in Facebook jail so I couldn't question their statements. I looked online and most disagreed, I just wanted to know from people who really seem to know chickens. I do not know anyone personally who has EE.
