I have been trying to figure out if we have hens or roos, but I'm thinking it is too early to tell on 2-3 week old Easter Eggers chicks. It seems from what I've read that EEs are such a "Heinz 57" mix that you can't use the wing and tail feather methods. What about the size of the legs and feet? I can't own roos in my county and am hoping I'm worrying over nothing and have 3 hens instead of 1 hen and 2 roos.
The chick with the yellow is older for sure. I think she is a hen...and, was almost twice the size of the other two when I purchased them at my local feed store...already had a couple wing feathers coming in. Purchased March 14.
These are not straight run, but the owner told me it still doesn't guarantee no roos. Ugh. Thanks for any thoughts...
