easter egger chick

Hello! I have six 13 week old chicks. They are Easter Eggers. And I’m praying that they are not all Cockrells. I’ve seen so many confusing and varied descriptions on how to identify a Cockerel versus a pullet. I’m hoping someone can clarify on what I should be looking for to help identify. I...

How can I identify the gender of my chicks? Sorry this is probably posted a lot! Easter Eggers!

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Yes! This is our first straight run that we purchased from a local boys home. Not exactly sure of age! (2) How many chickens do you have right now? 9 (3) What breeds do you have? Easter eggers (4) What are your favorite aspects...

I was so convinced my sweet chick daisy was a girl she is a lap chick already and I had thoughts others may be Roos but not her and now she is looking the most like she may actually be a male after all? Red comb forming also has red wattles coming in, “she” is 3 weeks old! Thoughts??? She is an...

Hello, chicken friends! New chicken keeper here, and I would love to add some birds to our flock. I've heard that Easter Eggers have wonderful personalities and can be quite friendly. I'd love to hear stories about any Easter Eggers in your flocks, what you love about them, and even what you...

I think I have three pullets and three roos between my six birds. Thoughts? Any guesses on adult colors also welcome! #1 Roo? #2 Roo? #3 Pullet? #4 Pullet? #5 Roo? (Black Silkie) #6 Pullet? (Blue Silkie) Please let me know your guesses for 1-6!! (And if you want additional pictures of...

Hey yall! Need some help. This is our second batch of layers and all new breeds to me. They're supposed to be Easter Eggers, Ameraucanas and Buff Orpingtons. What I was told were EE are drastically larger than the others (same age), have blue legs and have the puffy cheeks. The "Ameraucanas"...

This is my 8 week old Easter Egger. Let me know if you think this is a pullet or a cockerel. I have my guess, but I'm keeping it to myself until I hear from ya'll. Regardless, I will keep everyone posted as they develop :)

Hi folks! I have the sweetest little EE chick about 1 week old who I'm like 95% sure is a boy. I've named him Sid. I know it's waaaaay too early to know for sure, I wont know until I see those saddle feathers, he crows, etc...but I FEEL like he's a boy, deep down in my chicken-owner instincts...

I am asking about the one on the perch facing the camera. This chick is 4 to 5 weeks and has very short tail feathers.

I got these three sexed from My Pet Chicken, but I'm always going to worry because I'm not allowed roosters. They all feathered/matured really quickly compared to my Orpington chicks last year! I know that it's impossible to see their legs in these photos, but all their legs look similar to one...

Hi!!! I got three little girls four weeks ago, or at least I ordered three girls. They are Snowy Easter Eggers and are supposed to have pea combs. I’ve noticed that one of my girlies is much bigger than the others. She has larger feet, and a LOT more comb growth. The others have VERY little to...

I’m trying to sex these 4-6 wk old Easter egger chicks and I’m just confusing myself even more. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey all, very new to this and as a rookie I got 10 unsexed Easter Eggers (doh!!!). I can only have females where I live, so just looking to figure it out so I can start making some plans. My little boys have been great, they agree that we aren’t fully naming them until we know who we get to...

I ordered 7 Buckeyes (one is male) and 3 Easter Eggers pullets from Meyer Hatchery. They arrived today in perfect condition. I’ve never been disappointed with an order from Meyer. And now your viewing pleasure, the first two links are videos. Baby chicks 4/21/20 (click) More babies! (Click)...

This little chick has me confused. When it was little I thought for sure it was a cockerel because it and a couple other chicks grew incredibly fast and nearly doubled in size quite rapidly, looked massive compared to the other chicks, and it had a very wide comb and thick legs, and I thought...
