I wanted to order EE's from MyPetChicken, but they're sold out. So I placed an order at my feed store for EEs from Cackle. But I just noticed that Cackle's page says theirs only lay blue and green, and not X large, but MyPetChicken says theirs lay green, blue, and pink X large eggs 4 x per week. So, unless I read it wrong, I think I'll cancel my Cackle order and wait for MyPetChicken to get them in stock after June.

I would order from whoever is closer, the less time spent in transit the better.

Good advice, I'm sticking with my Cackle order since they're close. I'll get half or all of the chicks in a few days, depending on availability. I'm hoping for good ones.

Any help with these two? I thought we had it figured out but they have completely changed since we thought they were both roos. Really wish the one with the pea comb was a pullet but i doubt it haha. But the other one seems to have taken a thrn towards being a hen just not sure since they are easter eggers.

By the way they are 6 weeks old. Thanks guys

I would guess that the first one, with a single comb is a pullet. I see no pointed feathers at the base of the neck and in the saddle area (which would mean male).
The other one.... I couldn't see the feathers in those areas very well.... so no idea really.

Quote: At 6 weeks, with that much wattle?....it's a male. The pointed saddle and hackle feathers won't show up until 3-4 months old.
Not sure on the second one.

I'd wait until they are big enough to be sure......and to put on the grill.
They probably wont be causing any cockerel trouble until the are about 4 months.

Thats where the other cockerels go at that age lol. I have a few friends close here that need a roo and two of them love the colors. So since they want it i was just going to give it to them. Also have a second property that i am building a coop for now. These guys need to reach maturity so i can hatch a few higher gene ee's since i have some pullets on the way. Ill post pics in a couple more weeks.
