    Kathyinmo, did you get your pullets at a hatchery? If so, which hatchery? They're very pretty.

    The EE braggers thread!!!

    I think Umber is a cockerel, but to be sure you have to wait it out----sometimes (not often, but...) the small side rows on the comb may subside as the chick grows. Give it more time.

    The EE braggers thread!!!

    Quote: Sure. We've had two roos together, in the same outdoor run and coop. One important point for keeping the peace between roos is to have enough hens (10 per roo). Aside from that, often (not always but often enough) the two roos will spar a few times and work out who is the "top roo" and...

    The EE braggers thread!!!

    Quote: Well, usually EEs have pea combs, not rose combs (although certainly some EE mixes can be single comb, etc. Pea comb is the most prevalent, however). The pea comb is related to the blue egg gene. If a cockerel, you will see three vertical rows of bumps in the comb, whereas a pullet...

    The EE braggers thread!!!

    Quote: If it is any consolation, he is going to be a very handsome roo! Plus, it is a great idea to have a roo who carries the blue egg gene if you ever want to breed your own EEs someday....so maybe this isn't bad news after all. I've had EE roos that have been absolute sweethearts, so all is...

    The EE braggers thread!!!

    Quote: So what it is about the comb that would or would not make her a boy S/he's the only one I've got that has a rose comb, it looks like the other EE has the single comb like the BRs/RIRs. Here's another picture, not directly on...

    I coul;d tell with more certainty if you posted a straight on photo of Lady's comb, but I do think Lady is a boy.

    The EE braggers thread!!!

    Quote: Yes, Illia, I know what "it's called" and as I previously noted, I think it is unreliable and frankly, often wrong. As I wrote before, I've read your other posts with your gender guesses based on color, and have found them to be sometimes incorrect. I have EE hens in many of the colors...

    The EE braggers thread!!!

    Quote: Hmmm....not in my experience, at all. However, I think it has a great deal to do with what hatchery (and their lines) that the chicks come from. To me, it isn't REALLY an EE if he/she doesn't have a pea comb, which is easy to sex. I've seen you remark on other threads that a pictured...

    Quote: Color means far more than comb with Easter Eggers. Hmmm....not in my experience, at all. However, I think it has a great deal to do with what hatchery (and their lines) that the chicks come from. To me, it isn't REALLY an EE if he/she doesn't have a pea comb, which is easy to sex...

    I have two EE hens who look similar, but that means nothing. Can you post better photos of their combs? Take pics that are straight on and close up.

    The EE braggers thread!!!

    Have any of you found that certain color EE hens tend to lay blue eggs, as opposed to greener eggs?
