I don't think it works for Easter Eggers.

No. You need a specific cross, I believe a slow feathering male over a fast feathering female for wing sexing to work. Easter Egger are usually easy to sex by comb and color around 5-6 weeks old.

Thanks.
How reliable is the black and white trick

Nope, it doesn't usually work.

Thank you
My situation is I want a EE roo but the feed store only has pullets. But a 90% sexing accuracy on chicks so i want to weed out a boy

I wish that was my case, I got all cockerels and was hoping for pullets (straight run)

Wow.
