10 week old EE - he or she?

[meadrian]

Just found out my BR is a boy.

So while I'm at it, is my EE a pullet?

I know my NHR is, but now I'm wondering about this one because of her tail. Hardly any comb coming through and is kind of an orange. Not yellow, not red. Thanks!

but i could be wrong

That's what got me thinking.....hmmm.

I say girl.

OK. I REALLY like that answer and I hope it's true!

Most EEs have pointy-looking hackles, not just the males. No saddle feathers so I'm thinking girl here. The comb may help us more in your pics.

Here's the best current one of her comb I have. (Taken today) I've read alot about the BR and NHR, but not as much on EE so was hoping her breed specifics would help out here.

Looking at the comb, looks like a girl. Looking back at pics of our EE's, our roo's combs were getting bigger and much more red than the girls by around 10 wks.

This is really good news.

Thanks! I kinda thought she was a girl, but I'm too new at this to really know.
