Good evening everyone! I've been reading about sexing Ee's and I have one that doesn't follow the coloring for roo's but has the 3 row comb at 6 weeks. It's the only one.. any opinions??
Walnut
close up. Bonita
Cappuccino ( was a chocolate, but turning silverish)
Brownie
All 6 weeks..

Cockerels start deepening in comb color almost right away while the pullets stay very pastel/pale pink until they are close to laying.

So are you thinking these are all pullets then? Walnut is the only one developing a comb at this point. They are 6 weeks..

the others are definitely pullets. Their color pattern is female specific

That's what I was thinking. Just Walnut all the sudden I was like wait a minute, are you a boy. Hahaha Thanks!

In all seriousness though, is she warm enough? I have a heated crate at night for any injured and recovering birds. It isn't heated much, it's one of those crate pads that maintains at about 75F. It's on just one side of the crate so the bird can self regulate temperature (cool side vs warm side). She's adorable but I'm thinking that's unusual behavior?

I'm pretty sure she's okay. Came in from a 35 degree coop. She actually was kinda warm the first little bit. Getting a chicken saddle for her then going to try and get her back out with the flock. We have warm weather coming so it'll be easier for her to adjust I think. She's still following around behind him tonight lol.
