Easter Egger red shoulders

[twinmom007]

Good morning! I have five three week old Easter Eggers... I know it is very early to tell gender, but a couple of my babies are staring to get red on their shoulders. Is this the red that signifies a cockerel? I’m specifically worried about Maud and Alma (I know Alma has a pretty severe cross beak) . They are all supposed to be girls... I already have a rooster, so I’m hoping I don’t have another. This is my first time raising chicks.

I’m attaching my other babies in case they have any tells yet! Thank you!!

They are young yet, but that reddening is not the typical shiny cockerel feathering indicator - at least not yer.

Nothing screams cockerel at this point. You should know more in a few weeks.

They are so cute and have such fun names. ❤ I agree, don't look like cockerels at this point.
