Americana hen or roosters?

[agm419]

I bought them at the feed store and they were supposed to be pullets, but they both look like roosters to me based on the tails (I've never had easter eggers before though). they are about 7 weeks. Thanks for the help!

Best thing I've learned, the cockerels feather slower than pullets.

Also watch for solid colored feathers to start appearing on the shoulders.

The second chick looks like a pullet--similar color pattern to silver duckwing--but there are never guarantees since they're mixed colors.

You could post them in the Easter Egger Sexing Tips and Tricks thread for people with more Easter Egger experience.

I have a bunch of easter eggers that are just a week or two older than yours. The boys were all looking pretty obvious by 7 weeks with big pink combs. None of yours are obvious cockerels. They all look like pullets to me.

So far they both look like girls. EEs usually have pretty upright tails. I would watch for even pattering and patches of red on the shoulders. Boys will have the red on the shoulders and blotchy pattering

Your Easter Eggers look like pullets so far. Pretty things.
