They both look like girls - do you have any pictures of them standing up (full body shot - head & tail)?

I would love to see what your little black and white one looks like now. I had picked a brown pullet from a mix and low and behold white started showing up. She/it looks exactly like the one originally posted. I mean, exactly. She is 7 weeks tomorrow. She's a slow grower. All my babies have been this time around.

Once they are about 3 weeks old, the comb difference makes itself visible. Boys have three rows, girls have one. They both look like girls to me.

I have a black and white EE in question 3.5wks. What do you think??

 

[sigmachigirl]

It looks like a boy to me. My now 26 week old just started laying and her comb was definitely not that size at even 10 weeks. Then again, could be the breeds in it though.

I find it fairly easy to sex EE's. In addition to the usual things..like more erect posture, thicker legs and bigger, redder combs in the cockerels, they will develop red feathers on their shoulders relatively early on and their combs will have 3 rows of bumps to the pullets 1.
