This is our first year with EE so I am still learning their characteristics and such. I think I have one Roo and one pullet, but I'd like your opinions please!

This one I suspect is a roo. I was told around 4 weeks that he may be a pullet, but he's much bigger than the other one, his beard is bigger, his comb is wider and more red and he's pretty feisty. And as I've been learning, the red on his shoulder area is a boy thing?




Next is the one that I hope

will give me some green/blue eggs! She is the black and white one. She's smaller, her comb is not as wide as the other's, her back feathers are still fluffy and not "big girl" feathers yet...she's feathering quite slow in my opinion, and she's SUPER skiddish! Antisocial, if you will...which is why the pictures of her are not as good, she will not stand still if she thinks you want to touch her!


In the next picture, she is on the far left, it kinda shows her comb.
 
That first one is all boy. You're right, that color with the red on the shoulders is a dead give-away.

I think your second one is a pullet, but keep an eye on her just in case. I've had the black and white ones fool me.
