Easter Egger Sexing "tips and tricks" *Pictures Included*

[mymilliefleur]

I am posting my EE again. He/she is 10.5 weeks now. I do feel that the red I've seen in the comb is flushing. I have gone to the coop and watched before entering and her comb is practically yellow. I was quite surprised, since it always looks so pink when I go to feed or handle them. Maybe you all can help me come to a final conclusion.

That's a pullet.

I am sooooo happy to finally know for sure. When I posted her at 5 weeks, she was looking pretty boyish, but her color has always been very even. I have 4 cockerels already lol. Definitely happy I can keep all my Easter Eggers. Thank you!!

Thanks, I hope you are right, but it makes him hard to sell.

How old is he? How much do you want for him? and would you be willing to ship him to SC? I don't have any red EE males and he would make a colorful addition to my flock of mostly blues and splashes.

March second or ninth hatch date. What would be involved in shipping a love bird? Would it be overnight? If not, how do you deal with water?

The hatch date works - he's only 2 or 3 weeks older than mine.

I would think that Priority poultry shipping would work. I just got a batch of babies shipped like that last week. From the time they hatched, it took exactly 49 hours for them to be in my home drinking and eating. They were shipped from MO. They were insured 'just in case', but all of them made it including the extras. If you're uncomfortable with shipping him I understand. He is your bird and ultimately, you make the decision.

Hello from Florence County!!! What kind of chickens do you have? I grew up with all sorts, but I've been raising my first personal flock since March. They're Easter Eggers, Olive Eggers, and 4 true Ameraucanas. Also, I just got 5 more EE, 6 polish and 6 leghorns. Between my family and friends I think that I'll have enough eggs to go around LOL

I've never shipped birds, but you can find some good articles on how to do so online.

You're welcome I hope you get lots of blue eggs off of her.

Hey guys I'm new to raising chickens so this has definitely been interesting lol. I have 3 new EEs and I think one might be a rooster. If I could get some help confirming that it would be awesome!
