5 Week Old EEs - Gender?

[MelanieS]

I have 5 x 5 week old Easter Eggers. I've had EE chicks before and am pretty sure that 2 of the chicks are definitely pullets but was wondering about the other 3.

1. Easter Egger mom & dad: oldest of the chicks and very precocious.




2. Easter Egger dad and RIR mom. The runt of the litter - was at least half the size of all others at birth. Thick yellow legs.





3. Easter Egger mom & dad.



Thanks!

You're right. The three you suspect are cockerels. At 5 weeks, they all have way too much comb development to be pullets. It is still too early to be sure that the other two are definitely pullets though.

I agree
