Sexing Easter Eggers

[junebuggena]

Girl or boy? 12 wks old



And P.S. she is dusted with DE but doesn't have any shiny feathers.

This one was supposed to be an EE but doesn't look like one to me! 16 wks old. She already laid a tiny olive egg:




What breed could she be?

Thanks in advance...

The second one is a Red Sexlink. And she doesn't look mature enough for laying yet. That comb still has more developing to do, not red enough for a mature, laying hen. The Easter Egger is a pullet.

I didnt think so either, but I found a tiny olive egg and it could only have been her as my other 2 are a barred rock and buff orpington.

Wild bird possibly?

That's what I thought when I first saw it but it was inside the floor of my coop!? No nest near by...

Wild bird possibly?

 

[junebuggena]

Could a wild bird have gotten in and laid?

 

[dannyelle123]

I really don't think that it would, my chickens get mad if wild birds come near let alone inside the coop. And I don't think a wild bird would choose to lay on the floor or leave its egg defenseless...?

Looks
Like a girl to me. Tail feathers look just like your other. If your bird has laid again there's your answer. Wild bird....probably not!

Just bought a hatchery sexed EE. 2 months old. Please tell me it's a pullet.

Thanks! She just looks so roo ish with her chest all out and standing so tall. And she looks like a roo in general.
