Easter Egger Rooster Red??

[MrsCait]

I remember reading somewhere I feel like that said if your Easter Egger gets red feathers on its shoulders, then it's probably a rooster. I have almost 3 week old chicks and several had red collars. They were purchased sexed female with 90% guarantee. But I am new to all of this and was wondering when this would be true?

This is my favorite chick, also one of the calmest and most curious. Hatched 5/30

Several of the other chicks have similar colored necks, not sure if it is an Easter Egger thing, or a rooster thing. Thanks for your help!

Looks like a pullet to me. Roosters don’t usually look like that, I see no red patches on the shoulders or wings.

I see no reason to think that's a rooster. It looks like a pullet now (but it's kind of too young to tell).

okay, so I should only be concerned if the reddish patches show up on the shoulder part of the wings, and not so concerned about the fancy red necklaces some of them are wearing. right?

Pullet, see only a single comb but repost pic in about 3 - 5wks (8wks old).

Looks like a pullet. The pattern on the wings and the lack of red on the wings indicates this. I don't see any cockerel indicators on this bird.

She is now 6 weeks, still my girl?

 

[ChickNanny13]

Still your GIRL

Now, this one... I'm really starting to suspect a Him. What do you think? Also 6 weeks old

Looks pullet but that comb is throwing me off. Still no color to it so going to say more likely pullet than cockerel. Need a couple more weeks some take forever to show their "true" colors but for sure you should know at 12wks
