Hmm you all have a better eye than I it seems. I'm on the side of pullet for now but I'm hoping more pictures will be posted of this guy/gal on the way of knowing for sure. I love this thread. It's become a test for me to try out my visual sexing skills. Also on a side note, Storm is beautiful...
Got a quick kinda off topic question if you all don't mind. I have some EE's and pure ams that for some reason seem to think everybodys beard is delicious. How in the world do I get them to stop eating each others beards? I want to keep the fluffiest ones but it's kinda hard to tell when it's...
Most black and white EE chicks turn out to be male so the odds aren't good for the top 3 being girls. The top one especially looks like my Roo when he was 5 wks. Still too young to be sure either way though.
Evenly Red
No Saddle or Hackle feather that I can see
Comb seems awfully small and not very red
Legs don't seem very thick
..................
I vote Pullet
But as I'm not very experienced I would wait for anothers opinion.
Hmmm....I still say pullet. The reddish color seems pretty even throughout it's body and I'm not seeing any dark red on the shoulders yet....I say girl but I could easily be wrong. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
That is too cool. Wonder if the tiny comb is linked with that color pattern?.. Hmm...Curious minds want to know...
Ah! Yes it is 3 row. lol Sorry. From the side it just looked like a large single row. Thanks for the different view and clarification! And I too vote for Groucho.
Sebastian- Roo - 3 row pea comb
Mallow- pullet- with modified pea comb? And a huge beard. Love it!
Paige- pullet- 2 tone thin beard- no idea on comb. She doesn't have much of one.
Can't wait to hatch out some eggs from this trio. The girls haven't even started laying yet though Mallow is...
Beautiful!
Out of curiosity and my inexperience with combs is that a single row pea comb? Or something else? I have such a hard time figuring out variations with combs...or just combs in general. lol
I hope not. :( From what I've read if he lives he'll always be a carrier and have to be kept separate from the flock...
Question. I know EE's are mutts and there's no real standard but do EE Roo's get a full tail? I don't know if my guy is molting out his baby tail feathers or what but right...
I would try yogurt with a bit of electrolytes added to it. See if he'll try it on his own and if not maybe put a little in his beak so he gets a taste. My chickens become raptors when yogurt shows up so hopefully he'll at least try to eat some of it...otherwise I'm not sure what else to try.
