Easter Egger Roo or Hen?

[fluffbeak]

This is my first attempt with chickens. These Eggers are 3 weeks old and are SO different. The tail is probably the big give away. "Silver" is much larger and has the tail that turns down. Fluff Feathers (the golden) is a lot smaller and that little tail is sticking straight up. All of my other chicks tails droop down and 2 are sex-linked. I hope all of my birds are hens.

EEs are harder to sex earlier on as the combs don't turn red until later. Also it is hard for me to tell with those pics, I would say wait a while.

Way to early to tell! A closer pic of the heads woud be a better pic. Good luc!

Not too early to tell - The left one is definitely a girl, and will grow up brown with black lacing here and there, and the silver one on the right will most likely be a golden hackles cockerel. Wait perhaps another week and it will be definite that it is either that, or a silver pullet.

Right now there's a lot of barring on the feathers, so it could be either but I mainly vote male.

Thanks for the insight. Is there a good source to read about the differences in the genders of different breeds?

Here is an update with Silver. She (I hope) is now 5 weeks old and her comb does seem pretty red.
I realized later that I probably posted this in the wrong place, so thanks for answering despite that.

Cockerel. Should grow up to look a little like my EE roo.
