Thank you for the quick response! I was trying to make three olive eggers- but it brings me hope that you think one of them might eventually lay eggs. Thanks again!

My broodie silkie hatched out four chicks in September. Three of them are EE, (Welsummer X Black Americauna), and the one on the far right, next to ( His?) mother is pure BBS Americauna. (Blue hen, black rooster- the offspring looks blue, but is suspiciously dark on the wings) They are all...

That is a very beautiful collection of eggs! Thanks for sharing.

Ummm... it does appear to be a boy. Sorry :hugs

So Far so good, the comb is still small like you said. She has some patches, but they aren't the typical brick red rooster patches. Your blue also looks female, the blue males are usually a darker blue on the shoulders.

Hello! :welcome Your splash looks like a pullet, but your red and silver looks like it might be a cockerel. Both beautiful birds!

I'm looking at chick number one as the only possible suspect rooster. When I raise EE and I see one with the color black coming out on the chest, they usually turn out to be male, except when the whole bird is black of course. The others look quite female to me. Good luck!

Thank you so much! That was a really quick reply too! The GLW has some flecks of the gold color, on the wings and kind of all over everywhere. Here's a side shot of it. The tail is really weird, which had me worried but I've never had any kind of Wyandotte before- .

My Patchy Mystery EE from a few weeks ago is still puzzling me. She has clear red patches, but the comb is still small and she overall seems female to me. They shipped in early February- they are about 13 weeks old. Here is her side- the head moved- she never holds still. But it does show...

This head-view photo makes me worry. That comb looks somewhat pink and plump for a seven week old bird.

What color is your hen? Is she black? If you get time, try the Kippenjungle calculator, it puts in all the genetic combinations possible for the offspring based on the parents.

Really? Thank you!!! I've also got a Gold Laced Wyandotte from this shipment who I cannot decide on his/her gender. Not an EE, so probably not a candidate for this thread. But I'll post if you guys want to take a gander at him. (No pun intended)

I've got some over ten week old EEs, some are clear boys or girls (ALL were sold as pullets from Meyer Hatchery, but we know how that goes) This one really has me confused though- it is a little patchy in coloring, although not as patchy as you would expect in a cockerel- the comb is not red...

Do you have a picture you can post of the bird in question?

Oh good, so you were already aware that it was not an EE, and not going to lay blue. She is female, so that's good news. Eggs are eggs. :highfive:

Looks female to me. Looks like a single comb, so it may not be blue eggs, but there will be eggs.

Both very pretty chicks, probably a little young still to tell. About 2-4 more weeks and we should be able to say.

There is a chance, but the color on the bird might not help you to be able to tell. Anecdotally, my single comb birds usually have a very apparent comb by 6-7 weeks if they are male. Watch the comb carefully in the next week or two to see if it looks really plump or pink.

Looking at the pictures, it does appear to have a single comb, and also wattle buds coming in as well. Could be an EE mix with something else, but this bird got the single comb.

Yes, EE chicks can be any color. It sounds like you have joined our club of EE lovers Would love to see pictures when you can get some up!
