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

Oh he is very pretty! Thanks for sharing this picture. Now I have an idea as to what he will look like. Thank you so much for sharing!

I want to thank you all for your posts to my question. This is the first time I have ever owned Easter Eggers and not quite sure about them. They don’t seem to want to be touched at all. Is this normal?

My EE was very friendly and would fly to my shoulder before adolescence, but she became a bit aggressive as she was a teenager and was acting like a cockerel. She would jump and claw and bite really good. After she started laying, she went back to being a nice bird and now gives hugs. I held her a lot as a chick and babied her, so I am not sure if that is why she is so sweet now.

The comb is pretty pink.... color isn’t consistent. I would say cockerel but I’m no expert.

I have to agree with April, seems like most of the time EE pullets have even patterning and the cockerels are patchy. Give it more time though, I've seen pictures of some that most were leaning cockerel that ended up laying eggs.

I'm a newbie! I have a feeling my EE is a Roo! Correct? 9 wks

Hi! I'm a newbie chicken owner. Is my 9 wk. old EE a Roo?

Yep, that's a boy.

Thanks for the hope. I will give it more time for sure.
