    Sexing Easter Eggers

    I’ve been noticing that my EE’s combs look more pink later in the day if they’ve been outside for a while. As opposed to when I first get to their coop in the the morning? Is a flushed comb really a thing? I had no idea!! I was worried they were getting sunburn or all cockerels lol.

    Thanks for the input, everyone😊. I’ve backed off for few days and then tried again with no luck. They were only getting treats once or twice a day to “practice” coming when called- maybe one or two meal worms per bird? they will eat other things just not from my hand, lol. (They don’t seem...

    I'm new to keeping chickens and started feeding my gals meal worms after seeing a helpful post/chart on chicken treats here at byc. ( 5 EE's, going on 6 weeks old) They were immediately obsessed with them! And then randomly, one of them lost interest. And within the next few days they all did...

    Thanks so much! From your experience, would you say sexing is pretty reliable? Also, I believe I’ve read somewhere on BYC that EE pullets and cockerels become more distinguishable at around four weeks do you feel that’s pretty true?
