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

How old?

The first is about 6 weeks. The 2 on the barrels are about 8-10 weeks, the 2 reds are about 12 weeks, as is the red and grey by the 4wheeler

Can you tell if this is a female or male?

I am no expert but your 12 weekers look like cockerels to me. I think I'm leaning toward all cockerels, but the 8-10 weekers might be pullets. The reddish color is an indicator of a cockerel.

Rose comb and silver through the neck mean she's an Easter Egger mix, probably with Wyandotte. Still a pullet.

Thanks. My mom has an Americauna and mentioned that the beak, coloring, and other small differences.

Please tell me I have at least 1 pullet

Sorry. Think you hit the cockerel jackpot.

Very difficult to tell without seeing the face and knowing the age. Not obviously a cockerel from the picture.

Is it possible my blue EE is a pullet and has a true peacomb? The 2 obvious pullets have single rows, and the other 4 were cockerels. The boys all have cherry red big combs and obvious red wattles and two are starting to crow. And then there's this one... 3 row comb but no wattles to speak of, definitely not as red.I'm not good with body shape or feathers...

8 weeks old

I have one that is very similar to your 2 that is now 18 weeks and coming close to lay as she is now squatting and getting redder in the face, this was her a few weeks ago.

Oh my gosh, how cool! Where did she come from?
