I have 3 Easter Egger chicks that are about 6 weeks old and I’m starting to think that I may have one… if not two Roos. From what I’m reading about sexing Eggers, I’m starting to think #1 and #3 are roos and #2 is a pullet, but I’m not sure. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Here are a few more Pictures just in case it may help. Thank you to those that have responded so far. We technically are not allowed roos, but my family… even my boyfriend that insisted he would never get attached, have all fallen in love with them. So we are hoping we don’t have to rehome any if at all possible.

I have one with very similar coloring as your #3, same age, too (though mine has more comb). This person has a similar pattern, too. Worrying little orangey feathers.

Hoping we have all just got charmingly colored girls. (but not so sure)

Welcome to Team Suspicious Easter Eggers. See you in two weeks.
From what I hear it’s the rusty red color that you need to be worried about

this was taken a few weeks ago and hes grown since then. (Hes 3 months here) hes getting his little attitude in althoughhe is pretty chill.Enough about him though. You have all females congratulations! Watch out for a red comb and non round tail feathers though as I could be wrong.
