5 EE's pullets from Cackle Hatchery..Can you guys take a look?

I've never seen an EE roo with that much individual feather patterning on the body. The hackles look "pointy" on some EE pullets because of the white tracing. It fools the eye when the feather tip is really rounded and not pointed. Plus as another poster said, the tail looks like an EE pullet's (esp. since it even HAS a tail at that age - all my EE males are slow getting tail feathers). I say it's a pullet.

They are lovely! I hope they are all girls for you. You got quite a mix of colors at that!

I think they are all girls. I don't really see anything on Rizzo that screams roo to me, but I could be wrong since I am still learning.

We have an EE pullet that holds her tail straight and high just like Rizzo. We also have one australorp that holds hers up high like that.

If Jean says so, I believe it. Looks like I was wrong with my first impression, then, and happily!

Of course, if Rizzo does turn out to be a boy, I can say, HA, I told you so, LOL!

I agree, all pullets.
