13-14 week old EEs - gender?

[TheChickenGirl16]

I think the difference you’re seeing is comb type. Your pullet in question has a modified pea or maybe even a single comb while your others have pea combs. I’m more of a fan of sexing by feathers when they’re this age. I’m confident she’s a pullet

Yeah, I just went over the pics again, I think everyone is right about pullets. Even I was thinking that…. I was just saying that IF Kailcar had a boy, it would be that one.

In case anyone was wondering, they're in their 19th week and still no egg/crow. They're taking their sweet time for sure.

Here's an updated picture on two of them - any more ideas? I couldn't get a good picture of the third:

Bird 1 from the original pictures:

Bird 3 from the original pictures:

They are about 23 weeks old. Still haven't heard anyone crow and no eggs.

Number one is definitely a girl!

Update: at almost 7 months, bird #1 has laid an egg (on the right - brown, not blue/green )! Still waiting on the other two to do something, but since no obvious signs of crowing/large comb I'm guessing the other two are both pullets as well - but we'll see!

Congrats! They're laying pretty late, all my pullets have started between 5-6 months.

Any pictures of the other two? By now it would be obvious if you had boys, so they're probably both girls.

Sometimes they wait until spring. Longer daylight hours should get them going.

This one is Bird 3 from the original photos: (and the one standing on my husbands shoulder)

Bird #2 is too flighty and doesn't like being handled, so no recent pictures of her.. Her comb has started to get a little growth and redness to it the last few days, so she's probably pretty close to laying.

Honestly I'm pretty positive at this rate they're all pullets. I guess I got lucky with my straight run picks!

 

[TheChickenGirl16]

Yup!
I’d say girlies!!!

Well I'll be! Obviously I wouldn't be mad but I was kind of hoping for at least one rooster


I've heard they tend to be late layers, so I guess I'll just continue the wait and update soon!

Meanwhile, my EE was the first to lay! 18 1/2 weeks.
