Early Gender Gestimation on 6 EEs and a Mutt (LOTS of pics)

[Larkspur88]

I have 6 Easter Eggers and a mutt chicken I want some "guesses" on as far as gender goes. I have someone interested in adopting them and in case they want to adopt them sooner rather than wait a few weeks I want at least an idea which ones are more likely pullets/roosters. Obviously I'll give him all my roosters.

And I have my little mutt chicken "Happy Feet" whose around 2 weeks old. I'm thinking he just might be a rooster, but who knows!!?? I'm going to see what we can guess now then in a few more weeks take more photos and we can compare and see what changes and if we are right/wrong.

Each chicken has 3 images of it. I tried to get 3 different angles.

#1

....sorry....I hate my flash sometimes. It works too well...

#2

#3

Looks flat....so pullet?

#4

Pretty sure this one is a rooster

#5

#6

Another flat beak...pullet?

#7...mutt chick. XD

There is nothing obviously male about any of those chicks so far, I think you will just have to wait. Where did they come from and were they sold to you as sexed pullets? If so, that is usually pretty accurate, with about 5% or so ending up male.

All look like girls to me but ee are good foolers

The only one that looks like it May be a roo is #4

The ees all look like girls.

They look girly to me. My ee roos had red combs by 5 weeks

 

[poodlepill]

I think by color alone they look girly

Hm. Let's say I miraculously have 6 pullet EEs...

Here's the next question. Which three would you keep based on probability of being a female? And which will be the prettiest/uniquest? I know the second question is a bit opinionated, but figured I'd ask. I've only owned chickens now for a couple weeks!

are you only allowed to keep 3? I think they are all cute but look fairly similar....

The EE's are all female. The mutt looks like a girl too.

The EE's are all going to be the very typical wild-type brown color.

Technically I live in a neighborhood so I have to keep a small flock (supposed to be ten but whose counting?) I have to choose favorites. All roosters go unless I get a well behaved one.
