I was watching those red patches too, but she has them all over, not just on the wing, and they aren't as red as they appear in photos. While I still won't say I'm positive she is female, I'm pretty sure. She doesn't have any male feathering or personality traits, and her overall stance is low...

My three pullets are a mixed bag on the combs, the three row comb rule does not seem to apply at my house! My older two EE's have single row combs, but out of my three younger, I have one single, one with partial three, maybe considered modified, and one with three rows. Crazy chickens! Here is...

The middle row is more prominent than the outside two, but my other girls have a very clear single row. I do think this is a "she" though, there is just no roo feathers/behaviors yet, but we shall see! Gorgeous huge egg! Edited: or maybe this is what a cushion type comb looks like on a younger...

So, it's only been ten days, but here is my chick's update. Chick is the offspring of a BLRW roo (I think) over an EE hen. Over nine weeks old, will be ten on Monday. No beard/muffs or wattles, three row pea comb, yellow legs. The feathering continues to look female, even more so I think, and...

He/she does have yellow legs, no beard or muffs, but no wattles either, three row pea comb. It's tricky b/c it is a cross, EE with I think BLRW. As the chick gets older, I think it is favoring the BLRW side more than the EE. It carries itself like a pullet, low stance, but the comb is so...

Yeah, this little chick has been a tricky one! I can usually tell fairly well by about 4-5 weeks, but not this one. Your right on your assessment, it's a roo comb on a hen body, so we will see what becomes of that! That's what I get for hatching out mixed breed eggs, it messes with the...

Yeah, just not sure with this one. The comb is modified pea I think, which would explain why it is more prominent? No wattles yet, and even though the comb is pretty red, it hasn't increased or changed much in the past three weeks. Overall shape, stance looks female, but the legs are pretty...

She is beautiful! I hope if she is a she, that she turns out that nicely!

I have a little EE mix that will be eight weeks old tomorrow. I posted pics at about 4-5 weeks, and we all agreed (myself included) that it looks like a cockerel. I did not know what it was mixed with, but it hatched from a green egg and has a pea comb with three rows, two outside ones smaller...

At two months, the comb should be a pretty good indicator. Three rows of peas steer clear, and if they have a single comb they probably don't carry the blue gene, so look for pea combs. You probably won't see rooster type saddle feathers at two months, but if the overall coloring is patchy don't...

Thanks for the input! I'm pretty sure Sunny will be Sonny pretty soon! Too bad I can't keep a roo, he has a very sweet personality, my last two little roos were very bossy and would even peck us as early as three weeks old! I'm sure he will end up on a dinner table, since he is a mix and he is...

We hatched out chicks just over five weeks ago, the ones I was sure were girls have a new home, but we have been hanging onto this little one because I wasn't sure and didn't want to give someone a roo. They are backyard mixes, but this one hatched from a green egg and has a pea comb, so at...

I know, it's a tricky one! It doesn't help that it may be a mix, no telling what other genetics are at work here. We will just wait and see!

Yeah, I saw the red too, I'm definitely leaning roo on this one. I'll give him/her a little longer to be sure. He is the last left from our hatch, I already found homes for the girls but didn't want to give a suspected roo to new chicken owners!

I have a little chick of unsure parentage, but I'm thinking it is an EE or EE cross. It does have small cheek poufs, and a pea comb, chipmunk markings, and yellow legs. And even though "her" feathering looks feminine so far, and "she" is feathering very quickly, the comb appears to be...

I would say at eight weeks it is a roo. Our little blue/grey looked like a girl until about eight weeks too, then the comb started growing and the neck/head darkened. If there is no crowing, then wait to be sure, these solid color ones can be a little tougher to sex. But the comb says roo.

I say rooster, just a calm one! Probably the other two are more dominant.

I think this one is a roo, and the others look like pullets to me.

Both look to be pullets to me

Chirpy looks a lot like my olive egger, BCM over EE, interested to see what kind of eggs you will get. And they do all look like pullets.
