Confirming gender

[Miriahbrown]

These chicks are 9 wks old and I posted earlier (7 wks) and was told all 4 I have are roos. Two are definitely roos, but I wanted to confirm on these other two before I re-home them (can't have roos in my neighborhood).

They're easter eggers. It's only 2 different birds in the images.

They are cockerels.

I'm a newbie, but have studied way too many pullet/roo pictures haha I vote cockerels as well. They have pretty big feet, and the tail feathers to me seem very roo like. I'm sorry

The red on the first one’s back/wings is a dead giveaway and the comb on the other

Both have male specific coloring, they are almost certainly both cockerels

Really? I didn't realize there was gender specific coloring on Easter eggers! I thought all specifics like that kind of flew out the window with being an EE. Good to know!

Ok, thanks! They have much smaller combs than the other two, so I wasn't sure. Didn't realize they had gender colors for EE. Our only experience is chicks from a hatchery.

I actually was getting suspicious because of the tail feathers looking a little downward drooping.

Easter eggers can have crazy tails so tail shape doesn't mean much until they're a bit older - I've had several pullets with tails that curved that that age, it's the uneven pattern and red splotches that are a dead giveaway
