5 week old easter egger chicks - pullet or roo?

[Zoomom]

I have 4 easter egger chicks and would appreciate help sexing them. I think one is a roo for sure...I am hoping they all are not boys as I am only allowed hens due to the noise by-law.

Please tell me what my babies are.

The buff chick I think is a boy. He was getting pink at 3 1/2 weeks.

The chipmunk chick.

The yellow chick #1

Same yellow chick #1

Yellow chick #2 (I think is a girl)

Thanks so much!

Just a few notes to add...

the two Yellow chicks (one hatched about 12 to 24 hours earlier than the rest) - both look the same except the early hatcher is a bit bigger.
- both are getting white/cream coloured feathers. solid colour, no barring visible so far.
- both are more slow to feather than the other 2 chicks.
- both had a little flat spot where the comb should be until about 4 weeks old - the early hatcher #1 comb is a bit bigger.
- both have finer-boned legs and they are light coloured legs but starting to get shaded grey on the front.

The Chipmunk chick
- getting brown and black barred feathers.
- pea comb started getting pink at 4 1/2 weeks, but still not as pink as the buff chick.
- EE greyish green legs

The Buff chick
- getting cream and brown barred feathers
- straight comb, started early before I could see the chipmunk chicks comb developing, started turning pink at 3 weeks
- greyish legs, but not as dark as the chipmunk chick
- boldest and most curious of all 4

I think Buff= boy
Yellows both look girly and Chipmunk could go either way. Good Luck!! Very pretty group!!

All i think is that the EE is a rooster. SORRY!

Okay, the first is not an EE. He is most likely a NHR, the 2nd is a cockeral and the last 2 are pullets

 

[Zoomom]

Thanks everyone for your replies. At least they all are not boys.

They all were from the same EE rooster and various EE hens. The chipmunk was from a blue egg and the others were from green eggs. I set 6 but only 4 hatched.

Oh, and I just realized the two yellow chicks are not getting much of a tail. Maybe one will be rumpless?

Hi Nicole,
Thanks! She was one of the broodies - she and her bearded sister sat on the eggs and are raising the chicks together.

This is the father of all my chicks. Isn't he handsome? He belongs to my friend Deborah.

Do you remember what they ended up being? I know it’s an old post, but I thought I’d throw it out there.
