17 week old Easter egger - pullet or rooster?

[tinselheart]

I'd love some help on whether the white Easter egger is male or female. Feathered late and bold nature so I was sure was going to be a boy but isn't crowing like the orangey one who is definitely a boy, also squatted the other day and different posture.

The pic of all 4 are our chicks who are all 17 weeks, I think orange is boy, darker two pullets but can't tell on white.

Thanks heaps for any ideas or pointers.

If it's an EE, is it a CCLB cross? Otherwise I would say it isn't a clear EE.
It's female.

I had assumed CCLB cross due to that crest.

I'd say your white ones probably a pullet, the feathering pattern looks female to me! and I think I'll agree with you that #3 (the orange/blue one) is probably a cockerel!

I'm gonna go pullet. By 17 weeks she would have some saddle feathers.

Yeah I had wondered this too, never had a crested chicken before. The white and orange ones were sold as Easter eggers and the darker ones as ameraucanas, as day olds.

Well, I would guess she isn't an EE then.
Your rooster is.
The others - more pics?
No pure Ameraucanas, for sure.

I'm surprised, we had genuinely thought white one would turn out to be a boy as super confident and grew v quickly compared to others. Orange was a very late developer. Kids will be delighted if she's a girl as she's my son's favourite.

She does have red tinged feathers at the tips near her tail but nothing on wings which I've read is a sign of a rooster.

Ok. All are mutts except MAYBE the dark brown spotted one.
But most likely all mutts.
I would expect at least one colored layer.

I wouldn't give up on her being an EE just yet. Certainly not an Ameraucana cross, but I don't think a legbar cross is unlikely.

No pure Ameraucanas, for sure.

I agree.
