    Nope. Ear tufts are double lethal, but rumpless just makes for awkward mating (therefore lower fertility). Strong likelihood it carries blue egg gene (about 97% likelihood with a pea comb, provided he's from blue egg stock and not wholly some other breed that carries a blue egg gene). That you...

    So far, they both look like girls. Will have to wait and see.

    Dont' put too much stock on iridescence: most of my girls got it before the boys. Wyandottes are the worst offenders for gender ambiguity (next up being the Brahmas). Both of my EE roos developed super bright combs almost overnight by week 7. One was crowing by week 8. With EEs, so far the...

    There's nothing inherently wrong with them not having a tail. Lacking one is more indicative of recent Aracauna ancestry (which is a good thing because that's where the blue egg gene came from originally). Lacking a tail can cause problems with mating or make for a dirtier-than-average rump...

    Given heritage of EEs frequently includes Aracauna, it's not so far-fetched that one could lack a tail ;)

    x2 If one was going to be a roo, it'd be the light one. Wait and see if it gets darker red on its wings, crows, etc.

    Check legs and stance too! My EE boys developed magenta combs overnight, so it's not necessarily something that gradually does anything. I'm not seeing anything here that particularly screams either. Middle one is certainly female. The other two seem more female than otherwise by these pictures...

    If his legs are double anyone else's in thickness, he's a rooster. This means the Wyandotte likely isn't or it'd have thicker legs too. I've never seen an EE with thick legs that wasn't a roo--they're not a big breed like Brahmas, so it's just not likely a girl is going to develop thick legs...

    Roosters are weird. Don't sweat them. See how they work out. Some can coexist; some can't without bloodshed or even death. Some have the sex drives of unsupervised teenaged boys locked in a mosh pit full of Swedish swimwear models; others are more comparably amorous to tubes of toothpaste and...

    Its wattles and face are super red, and the wattles seem bigger than everyone else's. You've a number of girls that look like they're getting sizable wattles, but they're not as bright as your golden girl. My Wyandottes this year are all questionable. The biggest silver one looks like it's...

    4wks is kind of early, but it's a stumpy little bird, nonetheless. comb says roo, but everything else looks female (esp that salmon breast). Repost it in a couple weeks and it should be more clear.

    I've got two that look like this (one bearded, one clean shaven), and one that's charcoal gray instead of the black, and her (likely) sister who is super light gray. The silver one turned roo on me and was crowing at exactly eight weeks. All gold-headed, but one has a super salmon breast like...

    Looks like a she to me so far. Dainty legs, comb isn't particularly wide or colorful and her pattern is very even throughout

    Yes, and the gold laced one in the back of the first picture likely is too

    Might be a chimera (fused twins). It's how male calicos usually happen (female skin, male genitalia)

    I'd rather have a somewhat standoffish fellow who treats his girls like the princesses they are. Of the roos I've had, the friendliest ones were more likely to not as be as ladies man as I'd've liked. That saids, jerks come in all flavors of the rainbow. Don't tolerate a jerk.
