When u post up here... at the top, the sec w/ smiley face- the 1st icon is to insert image. u can choose image from ur comp & then submit. I love my EE's !
No.. her body type, feathers r jst like all my other pullets. Its her comb tht concerns me- def doesn't look like Adrian, but is a bit larger than the othrs. However, I have a Maran roo tht acts & has a similar body shape 2 Adrian. Darcy acts like the pullets. Keeping fingers crossed!!
Really having trouble sexing one of my EE's. Posted pics on another thread and got abt 50/50 as 2 which it was, with varying reasons. I was told this thread was a great resource. Here are 2 of my EE's- the 1st is not in ?, but we hatched them jst a day apart in case that helps.
This is...
This is my 1st time owning chickens.. my kids & I hatched them for a science proj and for the benefit of great pets and fresh eggs!!! We hatched several breeds, but here's our 'not so small' 8/9 week old EE's!
Adrian... formally known as Adrianna (jst disc we hve a roo)
Darcy, still not...
Thank u- WalkingOnSunshine! I'm def pleased... she's a beautiful & very sweet bird. If u don't mind checking out these 2 pics 4 me once agn (1 is btr)... I'm really hoping 2 sex my othr EE btr. Ive been told by 2 farmers yest tht pullet tail feathers come in much sooner than roos. Also, the...
I think ur right abt her being a white/cream EE... she has green feet, and no comb- pretty much the same as my othr EE's. I didn't even know they came in this color- there's not another color in her.
Yeah...think I always knew Adrianna (#2) was a Roo... developed a comb pretty early & behavior was always diff. Guess we'll wait & see on Darcy (#1)!
Now.. i purchased Vanilla as a week old 'red sex link' - its now a good 8wks and as pointed out above, appears not 2 b what i was sold. Ne...
Thank u soo much walking on sunshine!!!! I was a lil confused abt the sex link myself.... it's the only one i bot at a feed store. They did have EE's (they called them Ameraucana's, but they weren't)- do u think she culd b an EE?
I noticed at the end of your comment u ment tht u thot the 1st EE was a roo b/c of red.. its got some specked brown, but no red. However, is red an indicator of male in EE's? I added some more pics jst a few.. plse take a look b/c if so- then I think Ive def got more roos than I realized!
Here are some more pics... please help me if u know abt sexing them.

Thanks for the input everyone!!! I see there is some disagreement on the roo issue... I never really thot abt it 2 b honest, so def something 4 me 2 check out. I guess since we hatched these chicks we've kinda babied them. He (the Maran Roo) does have quite the strong peck and already will...
I've checked several sites & keep getting conflicting info on sexing EE's... so i thot I'd post some pics up here of a few of my chicks (6/7 wks old). I also have a BO & Maran. The Maran is def a Roo.. but is sooo sweet! Ne help wuld b great!!!!
My Buff Orp 6.5 wks
same BO...
I bought some Ameraucana eggs from a local breeder & hatched 2- I believe they r silvers. I bought some pullets from a farmer- but believe they are really EE's. Can ne experienced breeders tell from these pics? My 2 hatched 3 days ago and the othrs r abt a week old. Either way, they r sooo...
I think ur probably right. 2 ?'s.... Shuld I wait a few more days and see if it opens its eyes? And, how did u cull ur chick? I've heard the most humane way 4 a young one is a sharp pair of shears.. but since u jst had 2 do this, wuld love ur input. Thx
