I have gotten pretty good at figuring out my RIR, NHR, and BR roos from hens. But my SLW and EE's have me scratching my head. I got photos of 2 EE's to start with and the SLW and other EE's are tough to photo but I will keep trying and add them here if I get good ones.
With the genetic milkshake that make up the EE's I was trying to look at legs, attitude, body shape but that left me with more questions than answers. Do the size of the tail feathers mean anything? I have seen some photos of others that were labeled hens but have very Roo looking tails.
Here are my first two birds both the same age.
#1 two photos of this one
#2 only got one shot of this one
