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

[Lucretia]

Okay, I posted this picture on another site, asking about why this EE has a raspy voice at 7 weeks old -- and someone said (s)he looks like a roo and maybe that explains the voice change. But from everything I've read here, she should be a pullet! That is...I think. I'm such a newbie at this it isn't even funny! LOL

Taken yesterday, sitting with my bantam Mille Fleur.

Here's the same one a couple weeks ago, with the two bantams (and another chicken's tail in the way):

And here's my other EE, who is like twice as big as the other one, but still peeps like a baby. LOL

Any thoughts? I'm really praying they're both pullets...I don't think I can keep roos in my neighborhood, but I'd hate to get rid of them!

I'm not sure about gender here.. I can't tell from these pics.. As far as the voice I have a Brahma pullet that sounds like a goose.. LOL .. each bird is different

Hope it's a girl!

Some chickens make a growly sound rather than your typical clucks. I have an EE like that. There's nothing wrong with her -- she's just different.

My cockerel does not growl. He makes sounds a lot like the pullets except when he's crowing.

Thanks guys! That makes me feel much better.

(And sorry about the pictures...these beauty shots are the only pics I've got on this computer!)

They're both pullets. I have 2 that sound like ducks when they pant - I can't wait for cool weather.

Hi I posted this before, but I'm still clueless LOL.
Can you folks give me your opinion on this chicken.
Thanks:

That looks like a boy to me.. the tail looks very pointy in this pic.. How old is it?

The barred bird is a cockerel. Pretty sure I can see skinny feathers in the neck and saddle areas and the tail is classic roo.
