Hi all! We received an EE ‘day old female’ from Meyer Hatchery this year and (s)he has me a little perplexed… was hoping some of the pros would have some insight as to her gender. All signs point to female- with the exception of those gnarly looking sickle feathers. She’s a little over 12 weeks now, and I’ve read that maybe what looks like sickle, is actually just underdeveloped tail feathers. I see no points in the hackles, and her comb isn’t overly pink/red compared to her sisters. Legs aren’t huge, and her disposition seems hen. Her color is a little strange though… we absolutely love her (color, especially) and are crossing fingers! She’s shaping up to be a great addition. Since we already have a Wyandotte roo, I need to plan appropriately. Either way, she’s not going anywhere except maybe a newly built coop. Thanks all!
