A week later and still unsure.

Buttercup is my favorite out of all three. She has such a great personality! They all do, but there's just something quirky about her.

I find hens actually get bigger fuller tails long before roosters. With all my feather sexing experiments I've found roosters wont even have pin feathers there until after the hens have full on feather dusters going. Based on this Enoch is /definitely/ a hen in my eyes as well as Bo Peep... I'm hesitant to say Buttercup is a hen though. >> Roo feathering rate and seems to have that shape... but its really hard to tell in those shots... but yes I agree on EEs

Any chance of a close up on Buttercups comb?

I think it is too early to tell gender, although a closer photo of each chick's comb may help get you better educated guesses at this point. And yes, they are EEs, they have green legs. It looks like you'll have a black and white one, and a partridge one, along with the white one. Nice color selection!

Getting better pictures right away!! Thanks!

 

[ChickyLove]

Here's two pics of Enoch!!

Here's two shots of Bo Peep!!

And only ONE of Buttercup, because he/she/it refused to cooperate!

 

[ChickyLove]

OOPS! That was FOUR shots of BoPeep! Hang on a sec!


There's Enoch!

Buttercup still looks like a roo to me. Even more now. Though it might help you a bit... does he have three vertical "rows" on his comb to speak of. Can't really see it at a side like that but the fact hes already turning pinkish.. well...

 

[ChickyLove]

I'm noticing that Buttercup has a broader comb than Enoch and Bo peep. I'm not *seeing* three rows, but instead a very large raised area. Hmmm. Well, if Buttercup crows, I guess we'll know! ....please don't tell me hens crow....

Sometimes they do

I've not seen it yet though and thats what I mean by three rows. They tend to have a center row more prominent while both sides are like smaller "comb"s. At least with EE's. Still. At least if you can have roosters you got it made. :>

They look like welsummers to me
