Easter Egger Sexing "tips and tricks" *Pictures Included*

[Mr Beaks]

I agree with you, I think pullet. Awful lot of red though.

 

[Wishing4Wings]

Yes, I think pullet. She is showing gold more than the deep brick red that males get. Look at a gold laced Wyandotte rooster and you can see the red on the upper wing contrasted with the gold on the breast.

It's a shame you lost her. Would have been interesting to see how she would have looked as an adult. She was cute! She had slender girly legs and feet, too.

 

[Mr Beaks]

Thanks for your insight. It is greatly appreciated! It is a shame indeed that we lost her. She was a good bird but had a strong will to do things her own way. She hated being with the other pullets, always aiming for their eyes and toes and had a habit of escaping the run. She was a little beauty though. Thanks again for your help!

I have three more EE chicks from the same hatch as our cockerel Brimley. I have guesses for each of these, but let's see what y'all think.

This is Owl. Her face looked just like a little owl when she first hatched. I had to help her out of her shell.

Sesame

Sesame in the back, Wilford in the front

Just Wilford. Sorry it's blurry

What do you think? I think Owl could be a pullet but the comb is awfully pink. Sesame I have no idea. Wilford I'm thinking cockerel because of the delayed tail feather growth.


Thanks in advance!

How old are they?

 

[sideadde]

A little help on this EE chick? I read the forum, noticing the trend on b&with EE tending to be male. This is Hawks. We're guessing roo but hoping were wrong. They're about 8 weeks old.

I'm back! Lol! It's been a while since I posted but I'm checking back in to see if you guys think our 9 week old bird Kyle is a pullet or cockerel. Most people told me to wait and see when he/she was 5 weeks. What do you think now?

 

[Crankles]

How old are they? 

Oops I'm sorry! They are about 6 weeks old

Bird 1

Bird 2

Wondering about sex of these two EE's. Maybe 5-6 weeks old but not positive. I'll post them weekly and hopefully eventually we will know before long!

The comb on Bird 1 doesn't look like a typical pea comb seen on EEs. The comb on Bird 2 looks pinkish and cockerel like to me, but maybe a tad bit early to know for sure.
