Can't figure out if I have roos or hens

[Wishing4Wings]

All 4 are pullets. They are 24 weeks and one's a bit older, so around 6 months, yes? At that age you would see saddle and hackle feathers if cockerels, and they would probably be crowing. Eggs should be arriving any day now!

The EE is particularly lovely.

Some people sell EE and Ameracaunas with the interchangable title but an EE is pretty much a blue egg laying mutt. Usually a mix bred ameracauna or an ameracauna that does not meet the standards.

they are all pullets

 

[farmergirl99]

Yay! WHen did ya'lls hens start layin?

 

[Wishing4Wings]

YAY!!! Are you sure??

Well, I wouldn't bet my first born or anything

but looks like there is a consensus, so yeah, pretty sure!

My EE started laying around 5 and a half months. I have 9 different breeds of same age. Earliest was about 5 months old on July 16th. Still waiting for one last hold out (she almost died as a chick, so was set back a few weeks).

It's very gratifying (and yummy) when you start getting eggs!

Yeah our EE is 5 months and 1 week thanks so much!

4 pullets. if you had a rooster they would be crowing by now. no dominique , the dominiques always have a rose comb and the barred rocks have a stright comb. That what the woman ment when she said the comb was deformed. you have 4 nice pullets and will be getting eggs soon.

You have some pretty hens there! The red one which looks to be a red sex link if not yet laying will be soon. The BR and others will lay a little later since they are pure breeds.
