We purchased 3 "pullet" Easter Eggers from Ideal Poultry (90% accuracy guarantee) I recently noticed that one was more agressive and started showing green in its tail feathers. I suspected it might be a male. It started crowing today!
So, I started looking at the other two. Another has green in its tail feathers as well! I also noticed that the 2 green feather ones hold their tail feathers up at an angle and the other one does not...Their comb area is darker colored also. Please tell me these are not BOTH COCKERELS!!!
The one below started crowing today.
This white/black one has feathers that look green when the light hits them a certain way in its tail, too. You can't see them in the photo. You also can't really see how he holds his tail up at an angle. (Sorry, it wouldn't cooperate!)
This last one is the one I am assuming is the only true pullet in the bunch. Her body looks different and her tail is just a continuation of her body. It doesn't go up any.
