5 week old Easter Egger chicks

[Leaning Tree farms]

I know it’s really early but I’m wondering if anyone can help me figure out the sex of my four chicks, the bigger they get the more I think I have 3 cockerels and one pullet. Help!

1, 3 and 4 are cockerels.

I think you're right. Too much comb development and red color for pullets..

Yeah those were my suspicions too.. thanks for the reply !

They all may be cockerels. Number two is the only one who may be a pullet. Do you have any body pictures of them standing? Where did you get them, EE normally have pea combs but can have any comb type depending on the mix.

I got them off a farm near my house just from a backyard breeder, I’m a newbie at chickens. We already have 2 one year old Easter Egger hens, one with a bright red peacomb as well.. but the pink coming in this early on the chicks makes me think cockerels

Honestly at 3 weeks #2 could be a cockerel too, it's hard to say. The others definitely are though and none of them really look particularly like Easter Eggers either tbh.

They are 5 weeks old currently, what breed would you say they are then ?? 2 have feathered feet as well.

Mixes most likely.

Sorry not sure how I did that one lol. In that case I'm leaning more towards pullet on #2 than I was before but still that's the only possible one. The other are definitely cockerels. and I'd agree with @annageckos that they're likely barnyard mixes. It's possible they have a blue egg gene in there somewhere and are technically EE they just don't really look the part and since 3/4 are boys you may never know for sure.
