    Easter Egger Sexing "tips and tricks" *Pictures Included*

    Thank you! I think Marilyn’s egg is in line with a USDA small. My hands are a little small but I think maybe some camera distortion is going on. It’s kind of nice having eggs in different sizes. You can choose what you need for the use. 😊

    Thank you! Our first eggs from our chicks have come from our Sapphire Gems and they are even bigger. Marilyn probably thinks she has to keep up, haha.

    Here is Marilyn’s first egg. She still has a bigger comb than my other Easter eggers and more red on her face. She was definitely a tricky one, but gives hope to others pullets with more unusual characteristics.

    Here’s Henrietta and the signature Henrietta stink-eye.

    I’m not concerned about the other two. Penny has been easy from the start. Henrietta had a bit more of a comb at first but it looks quite small and barely pinkish right now. I guess I haven’t photographed Henrietta in awhile. She hasn’t changed much but has a nice fluffy beard. 😀

    That’s a beauty too! I have two that were nearly identical as chicks and they are very different now. Looking forward to seeing what color their eggs are!

    Hello again, I have some new photos of the trickster Marilyn. Marilyn is the smallest of my Easter Eggers now. The comb has only changed slightly and now the other “girls” are getting pinker combs. We are at about 9 weeks.

    Thank you! I have really appreciated your insight and have been learning a lot. Marilyn’s comb has kind of stalled out from the early initial growth and seems less pink even. It’s really weird. I guess it really isn’t over until they crow or lay an egg. 😂I have been looking at every 7 week...

    Hello again! Thought you might like to see Marilyn and Henrietta at 7 weeks. The first two are Marilyn.

    Thank you, I appreciate the feedback. I will post again in a few more weeks. Henrietta has given me a cockerel vibe for awhile now so I would not be surprised. Other than the comb, Marilyn seems pretty girly— the tiniest little feet and very submissive to the others but seeing some reds in the...

    I wanted to post an update on Marilyn and Henrietta. Penny is still looking very pulletesque. Marilyn has quite small, petite feet, hen posturing and I would feel pretty good if her wider comb wasn’t beginning to turn a bit pinker. Might see some red in her feathers too. Henrietta’s comb is very...

    Easter Egger Sexing "tips and tricks" *Pictures Included*

    They were supposed to be sexed but I think there had been some mixing because they had an employee who double-checked vent and wings as we picked. I kept picking males so I told him to just try for females, the coloring was not as important. In the past I never had anyone check as carefully as...

    I believe they originally came from Hoover’s. We got them at Rural King. They seem to have very chubby cheeks.

    They were called “Americanas” so it’s a mystery. I will post pictures as they change. It will be interesting to see how it works out. I’m not able to have roosters so it will be a bummer, but will find good homes if I need to.

    Sure, thank you! I’m interested in seeing how the early predictions go, it’s kind of fun. 1st is Marilyn, she’s the golden one and the other is Henrietta.

    I was very careful to make sure they all had very dark heads, the guy at the feed store was vent sexing everything but said even that can be fallible. At first I thought I saw barring but then saw photos of what the rooster barring actually looks like and think so far so good. One does not have...

    Thank you. 😀 My other 3 are sapphire gems which are supposed to be sex-linked. They are already getting significant combs (in comparison to the Easter Eggers haha), but I know even the pullets have decent sized combs. That being said, now I’ve learned the sex-linked thing isn’t always a given so...
