Do you see rooster feathers on that one?

 

[RUNuts]

There are 2 with 3 rows on the combs. The other 4 appear to be single row. What else do I need to show you for Easter Egger male versus female?

Not yet. But they will come.

Their pee pots?

External indications please. Ideal was supposed to check the internal plumbing.
Yellow still is the only one with puffy cheeks. The others are pretty normal.
But I don't see pointed hackle feathers anywhere.

Too young for pointy feathers.

Ideal was suppose to check the plumbing on my yellow guy too.

Don't freak out yet.

No external yet except for all that damn yellow!

Nutty how does "he" look compared to the others?
Are his legs any thicker?
Does he stand taller?

I must admit that I really like the feather patterns emerging on the EEs. Very involved. So far we have Yellow, Redhead, Mohawk and the triplets with dark heads. Extremely pretty.

@PirateGirl why would a wild bird lay an egg on my sunflower? No, I did not put this egg here.

Yellow just looks yellow. Same basic shape and posture with cheek puffs.
Legs appear the same.
Posture is same. Not taller. They all take turns standing erect, then going normal.

I read in one thread the red on the breast is a tattletale too. Rednecks, but none on the breasts.
