Breed & Sex? *Updated Pic's*

[kearstin17]

Here are some more pic's. (s)he is now 8 weeks. Is there any chance this could be a pullet? if you think it's a roo please tell me what makes you think that. I am new at this chicken thing and am trying to learn what to watch for and look for.

anyone thoughts as to if it's a roo or pullet?

 

[kearstin17]

Ok so I really need some help here. I can't keep a roo and I know people had said roo but I need to know why. This little one is one of my smallest chicks and is afraid of everything so to me that would mean pullet. I am new at all of this and that is why I trying to figure out if there is still a chance it could be a pullet or if there is something like color of feathers that say roo. Please help me out here.

It looks like my easter egger. Couldn't tell you the sex though.

Well she looks girly to me, but if you look on his/her back the feathers will be pointy and shiny if it's a boy. As for breed I would say easter egger.Hope this helped

You can't figure out gender based on personality all the time. I have roos that were scared of everything as chicks, too. Also, I wonder about your saying you know one bird will lay a green egg and one will lay a blue egg. If these are Easter Eggers, you'd have to have a very good idea of parentage to make that statement. With EEs, it's usually a guessing game what color they will lay.

It does not look like an EE to me. Here are the reasons:
1. EEs usually have puffy cheeks. This one doesn't.
2. EEs. usually have willow legs. This one doesn't.
3. EEs usually have pea combs. This one doesn't.

As to what it *is*, I don't know. I've had pullets with that much comb before, because they were of a breed with very large combs. But I don't have a clue as to breed.

Really hard to tell, i am not sure, has no bright redness to either the wattles or comb, can you post again in 2 weeks

Here are some pic's of him/her at 10 almost 11 weeks. any guess on breed or if you think it's a pullet or a roo? I am so confussed

In spite of the hackles looking a little pointy (optical illusion because of the coloration) I think she looks girly to me.

Is she supposed to be a purebred from one of those rare chick assortments from a hatchery? If so then you could tell us which hatchery and we could narrow the possibilities by what they sell.

Her tail is really long, but I think the Phoenix only comes in Silver and Gold Duckwing. I think Modern Games have a really long tail too. If she is a crossbred, in my experience, the males will get some red feathers showing up in their shoulders and she has none.

Hmm, I hope someone has ideas for you.

I got it from a local feed store. They said it was a blue egg layer but that was it. So I am guess that would mean it is some kind of mix.
