lol, I was just going to say that polish is a pullet not a roo.

I don't think the white one is an EE. I think it's a jersey giant. They have dark legs.

One of my EEs has legs like your white one but they all have tufts. What kind of comb does she have? Pea comb would be EE, otherwise not so sure.

See the leg color on my 12wk white jersey giant? Dark, almost greenish, like an EE. Definitely a JG, though.

Here are my guesses...

1. Buff Orpington Rooster (positive)
2. Rhode Island Red Hen (99% sure)
3. White Easter Egger Hen (Definate hen)
4. Barred Rock Rooster (100%)
5. White Crested Black Polish Hen (sure on breed 90% sure on gender)

If she's laying green eggs, she's an EE

Why do people think the wattles are too large on the polish hen for it to be a hen? My polish get very large wattles very early in life . . . I was sure I had all roos because of that, actually. They all turned out to be hens, so I assumed Polish chickens were a breed that just naturally grew larger wattles earlier in life. I only kept one, but people do still mistake her for a rooster since she has large wattles compared to all my other hens.

Anyway, the polish's wattle are no bigger than the RIR, and she's obviously a hen. It's nice to have wound up with three girls that all lay different colored eggs.
