1. What Sex :D
2. How old. I think 2 age groups. I bought them in two batches one week or so apart from a local breeder...doesn't mean they are 1 week apart. I'm trying to figure out if they are all old enough to go outside in the new breeding pen /hutch I built. Its been about 80 - 90 every day here, cooler with the wind. I think at a minimum the little white one is too young. I CAN put some out and leave some in I just thought it would be nice for them to get out!







 
I think it would be fine to put them out in the run, just make sure that they do have shelter.
I have some that are 3 weeks old that are in the run.
 
They should be fine, there are enough of them that they will huddle together if they need to get warm. They sure are cute:)
 
Thanks, they are my first group of Easter Eggers. Anybody have any ideas what genders I might have? I do plan on keeping at least one roo. Maybe two if they get along. I'm hoping for no more than that.
 
Now, I'm not 100%, but I think that the top picture and the bottom picture are pullets. In each picture of the duo's I think that there are a rooster and pullet
in each photo. So out of 6 chicks looks like 2 roos and 4 pullets.
 
they look like pullets wait till they fully feather out and then repost about 2 weeks after that as the feathers are still changing until they reach adult hood and then they change with each molt a little bit
