I know some you can tell by feathering or feather patterns, etc...Do any of the "just for fun" methods apply to EE's?

I know it's too early, but I love to drive myself crazy. I have a suspicion that the light one on the left is a rooster....Any idea?

Mostly because the feathers on the light one are totally different than the rest.
That’s half the joy of easter eggers, they all look different!

It is too early for color cues to gender at this point.

OCCASIONALLY you can get a clue from the comb at a young age. Take a close up look and girls will have (usually) one row ofsmall bumps on their comb, and boys will (usually) have three, a larger middle row with a smaller set of bumps on each side

Thanks, I'll have to remember to look for that when they get a little bigger. If chickens have tried to teach me anything, it's patience, lol. I just started my first mixed batch incubating yesterday, and it sucks waiting. Never incubated before, so I'm hoping all goes well.
