Sexing Easter Eggers

[HappyClucker7]

Sorry, I should've been more clear. It's only the ones with red combs who are in question. The other two are definitely hens and only in the photos for comparison of the combs. There are two with red combs and two with pale combs.

Today they are 10 weeks or really close it and I could see the super glossy feathers of a cockerel coming in on both of the birds with red combs soooo I'm now convinced I ended up with two erroneously sexed by the hatchery.

Thanks for the input though. I was trying to be hopeful but All the signs are there (cockerel behaviors, combs, feathers). Now I wait for the crowing .

Oh okay.

It's probably too early to tell, but any thoughts on the gender of this 5-week EE chick?

Got these two from a bin of assorted straight runs at the feed store. Not sure on the breed, but having spent the past week browsing all 68 pages of this thread, I'm think they're Easter Eggers. I don't know anything though, so more experienced eyes would be greatly appreciated.

They're just about two weeks old, so I know it's really too early to tell on the sex, but I'd love some insight on what to be on the look out for. From what I've gleaned, boys combs will pink up around two months and their patterns tend to be less even with maybe splashes of red, where as girls' combs go red around five months and their patterns are more even and their feathers more rounded. Am I doing this right so far?

This comb seems suspect. Is this sort of development unusual for two weeks old?

Thanks for the help. Here is an update of the chick at almost 8 weeks. I think she still looks like a pullet. I can’t wait to see what color her eggs are.

The wyandotte is a pullet not sure on The other one

The wyandotte, would that be the one on the right in the first picture? Had that on the shortlist along with Easter Egger for their possible breed. I'm extraordinarily unlearned thus far when it comes to these things, so I appreciate the help. If I may ask, what makes you think pullet?

Anyone know if you can wing sex EEs?

Not accurately, no.
