I was able to tell my cockerel at around 4-6 weeks old, and here are a few pictures to help.
(Sulo's tail feathers are narrow and upright.)

This is Munk an Easter Egger pullet to compare. Same age, but the feathering in is very different. Sulo's "big boy" feathers came in later then Munk's "big girl" feathers.

Hope this helps someone! Easter Eggers are hard to sex, and this may not be every case, but it certainly was here and I hope these differences help people tell who is who![]()

ok. I'll do that...but in a few weeks. Won't hurt to have him around until he starts crowing...and who knows maybe he is just an early blooming she ; )Put him on CL for FREE you will get all kinds of replies.
