Hello!

Last post regarding sexing my 8.5 week old EE chicks.

Like I've mentioned in previous posts, I received four EE chicks in the mail in mid-February. I had originally ordered three, so I suspect one is a roo.

I would say this is the one I suspect the most. Their legs and coloration give me cockerel vibes. Let me know if you'd like additional pictures.

What do you think? Pullet or Cockerel?

Hm! Beautiful chicken! Getting a viewpoint facing directly downwards will help with this, please!
 
I'm in the same boat! I got 4 EE and I think 2 are cockerels. They are Hoover Hatchery's "Americana" EEs. Supposed to be pullets 🙄 but I realize there is an error rate in sexing chicks. They were born feb 8thish (the store got them in on the 10th). So about 9 weeks old. Here's photos of the one I think is really obvious. I need to take close ups of my other. Any thoughts on it are welcome. I'm still hoping for an egg and not some crowing but we'll see. I've seen sketchy behavior that seems awfully cockerel like too. (I have had cockerels before but were different breeds). Their feathers looked like all the rest until a week ago. Now I think the tail looks a little different.

How old is it? I'm thinking you have a pullet compared with my suspicious birds haha. It's very pretty.
