Easter Egger chicks

[GoodStuffMaynard]

There are 5 Easter Egger chicks pictured. The last one I believe is a cockerel. Do the rest look like pullets?
They are almost 4 weeks old.

The last one is a fast developing cockerel. The rest are still a bit young. Post updated pics in 2-4 more weeks.

Typically I would say its way too soon to tell and to wait until 6-8 weeks. Here is an example of an early cockerel... That last pic is a great pic of an early cockerel in a pea comb. If you have more than one, this one is dominant, and the the other will be slower to develop.

Ok thank you! I read somewhere that the male Easter egger combs have 3 rows and the females have one. I will update in a few weeks with what the others are. The one in the last photo behaves like a little roo too

And he clearly has three rows. Here's a pic of one of my araucana cockerels two years ago. Aside from his coloring, his comb was VERY male.

Sometimes, but not reliably enough to sex them for sure.

Size of comb, and especially color of comb, are more useful indicators for me. The combs of the males get pink and then red at a younger age, as compared with the combs of the females.

UPDATE! #3 and #5 are definitely little roos. #1, #2 and #4 are looking to be pullets
