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

Wow! They do look like brothers!!! He is quite handsome! Does he pass on the green egg gene?

iw

Yes, he has. Most of the eggs are blue, but I have one hen (from his gene) that lays an olive green.

BW is a gentleman and is a good provider for his ladies. I have given 3 of his sons away and I have heard good things about them from the new owners.

So cool! Thank you for that nugget! I didn’t know that about the Ameraucanas! And yep other than for when she is a little dusty or has gotten poo on her, she’s an all white lady with dark legs, and cheek fluff. She is slimmer than our all our other EE’rs too.

I have one just like her. Did you get her from Meyer's or no? I got a group from Meyer's and she was included in the bunch.

Ok, here is our white EE. She has no pattern, any color on her is out good ol SC red clay. Her daddy is right next to her. The other pic is her white and black sister.

So pretty! Thank you for sharing.I love our EE’s

I don’t think so. Ours came from our local feed store and I think they got most of their stock out of NM.

I'm pretty sure these are both pullets.... what do you think??
Thanks! ten weeks old

I have a 6 week old that looks like the second one some red coming in was getting me worried but I see that it worked out well with your Pullet even has the same blue dots on the wings that is a good looking bird

Can anyone tell me if these Easter Eggers are Hens or Roos? They are 8 weeks old.

The middle one is likely a cockerel. Red comb and red patches on the wings.
