I say girl.

I think the comb would be pinker by now and I concur with Bruceha2000 on feathers. I have been hatching them out for a while now and they are becoming more predictable based on feather patterning.

but still I get faked out...

Thank you!. I am really enjoying my EEs. They have great personalities.

Remember my confusing chickens? one was colored roo-like but was small and had a small comb. and the other was also a rooish coloring and we were just all confused hahaha....well they are now 20 1/2 weeks old!!!! NO EGGS yet BUT by now i'm pretty sure they would be very roo looking so i am saying i have two hens??!!! right RIGHT...PLEASE TELL ME RIGHT hahahahaa

breaaaaaathe.........hahaha. thank goodness!!! only one boy came out of that hatch. i am very unlucky so i thought for sure my first hatch would have all boys hahahaha!!!!! NOW watch they both lay brown eggs

They both have pea combs, so chances are good for green eggs.

They both have pea combs, so chances are good for green eggs.

Those are pea combs. They will get a little bigger as they mature. Sizes and shapes vary depending on breeds involved.

Same EE as adult. Very small pea comb and green eggs.
