Easter Egger club!

Here's a site that shows how to tell a roo from a hen in 2-mo-old chicks - there's an EE on there if it helps you.

This was very helpful! Thank you! I've got a roo!

I have one so far. She's now 6 weeks old. When I told my mother she's and 'Easter Egger', mom starts calling her 'Bunny'. Hope she doesn't turn out to be a roo. I plan to get some more in the spring.

I'm leaning toward pullet, but I'm not 100% sure yet. Can you post a photo again in say, 2 weeks?

Hello everyone! This is my 7 month old cockerel, Nero. He's a happy boy and was loving his pomegranate treat today and I just had to share his photo. I love seeing everyone's EEs!

Handsome boy! I love that color.

you should be able to sex it by now were are you from I have a few birds 2 EE"s and 2 silkie baby roosters ( 4 months old)

First flock though. I've looked at some pictures online.. I personally don't think she's a roo, but a couple of more experience have said she is.

If you post more pictures at different angels maybe folks can help sex your bird. I have 2 pullets of different color genetics and thus their combs are different hues.

I'll take some.

I'll take some.

So, Pullet or cockerel?

I'm going with pullet. No red patches, straight tail, single row comb (even though it's a tad pink) all of which shout pullet. Pretty girl!

Agree. Very pretty subdued hues as well.

I am still new at sexing them from pictures, but she looks pullet to me too.

 

[AGuyWithSomeHen]

Good news. I really didn't want to have to get rid of her.

Looks similar to one of my hens.
