Can you tell what gender on these EE's yet?

[BaGAWK!!]

I have 2 EE's, they are about 2 wks old now. I understand some colors on EE's you can tell gender early on...can anyone tell yet from this pictures? They are breeder EE's, not from a hatchery if that makes any difference.

Also, what colors are they going to end up being? Thanks.

I would say the lighter one is a rooster and the darker is a hen.

I'm no professional but last I heard EEs, like Turkens, have no real color variety names. I'd ask around though.

Could you get a shot of the darker one's face?

 

[BaGAWK!!]

I was afraid you would say the blue one was a roo...legs are thicker but it's also older so I wasn't sure. Here is the dark one's face.

Dark one is a pullet- getting that classic pullet look. Other one is a roo, tall stance, thick legs. You got a pair!

I think it is still too early to tell on those for sure, but yes, it does look like you might have one pullet (dark) and one roo (light). I would wait a few weeks and then ask again to be sure. =)

They both look like girls to me, but it's early

Mama, I sure hope you're right!! The light one is older than the other one, and is feathering out very quickly. Does that make a difference? Probably at the same pace as the dark one but since she's younger hasnt caught up yet.

Post again when they are fully feathered.
