    Not Sure If You've Got A Pullet Or Cockerel? Click Here! Thread 2

    She's 7 and an animal lover, so even though we've been talking from day 1 about all the things that could happen (including chickens dying and rehoming roosters) possibility vs. reality is something she's still learning. Thanks for the good wishes; I hope we find somewhere good for him and I...

    No, so we are actively trying to rehome him. Besides, we only have 3 chickens in total so it's not a good ratio anyway. Even though we've been preparing my daughter for this likelihood she sobbed when we heard him crow.

    No problem - I'm glad to be able to contribute. I started getting worried around week 4 but my husband kept trying to convince me it was fine. And for a while I started to believe it, but around week 9 that comb really reddened. In combination with the behavioral things I had noticed, I was...

    I did a ton of research and found quite a few others with similar coloring - black and white EE. Here are a couple I bookmarked. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/496691/8-week-old-easter-egger-boy-or-girl https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/656362/feathering-out

    I promised to follow up on this Easter Egger chick, posted about several times previously (here, here, and here). I was worried early on and unfortunately had good reason to be. We're now at 12 weeks. He started crowing recently and we're seeing beautiful iridescent feathers come in on his neck...

    I'm doing another check in on my black/white Easter Egger, previously posted. Now we're at 10 weeks and reddening comb. I know that's not a 100% indicator based on other posts I've looked at here, but we're continuing to get concerned this is a rooster. This chick has been the most assertive...

    11 week old easter eggers

    Thank you for updating your thread! I have one who is 10 weeks with a small comb that's turning pretty red. I've got my fingers crossed. Good to know it's still not a lost cause entirely.

    We have a feed store Rhode Island Red (that I'm sure is really a production red) that I was pretty comfortable is a pullet, but my friend freaked me out and said I should keep an eye on her. She's 8 weeks old. Should I be worried she's a slow developing roo? Thank you! This thread has been so...

    I posted a few weeks ago here and just took some updated pics today. They will be 8 weeks tomorrow and I'm now really thinking that of my two Easter Eggers (both pictured here), one is looking more like a cockerel with that comb color and what appears may be turning into 3 row pea comb? Any...
