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

My baby is approx 11 weeks and I'm not sure now whether it's cockerel or pullet! Sorry the photos aren't the best this is a slippery little one!

Based on reading previous posts, I think I've figured out that my 15 week old Easter egger is not a pullet.. but I would feel better to get some confirmation before I have to give him(?) away! We've suspected since the chicks were about 6 weeks old, but now I'm getting more and more certain, and am sad at the prospect of having to get rid of him.

100% certain that's a cockerel. I can see the pointed, draping male saddle feathers.

Tough one but I'm thinking pullet. Most of the cockerels have a lot more comb by now and the darker red isn't quite cockerel red.

Oh good! We've named her Esther and I'm really hoping for eggs from this one!
