Easter egger gender

[Excitednewbie]

Some more of my babes from my batch of easter eggers, they are 9 weeks old

We have these 3 that look alike, we think at least one may be a cockerel but have also read and experienced that easter eggers can be a bit tricky to try and tell the sex!!

Just wondering if anyone is able to tell if number 1 in the pics is a cockerel ? Number 2 and 3 are the others that look alike just for comparison purposes

#1 is definitely a Roo

Harder to tell on #2 & #3. Please share more pictures of their saddle feathers. #1's dead giveaway is the pointed saddle feathers. And of course, the comb is super red too!

1 is male, 2 is male, 3 needs better pics but looks female.

*Upon re-evaluation, I believe 2 is a girl. But better pics are needed!*

Just a couple reference points!

We thought we had seen pointy hackle feathers on number 1! Still being new to it all we didnt 100% trust our pointy discovery ill throw up some more photos of number 2 and 3, hopefully they are a bit better then the first pics i posted 3 was still being a bit camera shy haha

Male specific feathering doesn't start coming in until around 12 weeks of age. At 9 weeks the comb is the main thing to judge by. I think #1 is a boy. #2 and #3 are probably pullets.

I agree. They look pretty large to be 9 weeks, or is this just me??? they're beautiful! It does look like #2&3 are pullets from what I can see as of now.
Sometimes the saddles can come in sooner, but you'll definitely know for certain in a couple weeks.

They are pretty decent sized chickens we have a naked neck in the same batch and she is way smaller then all the others thanks everyone for your info and input
