Here is my 4 1/2 week old EE chick. Girl or Boy?

So far looks like a pullet!

Looks like a pullet to me! Very pretty!

Hm, I've heard others echo this and say that EE chicks with high-contrast/distinct markings (ie perfect V) are female and blurred/indistinct markings are male. I think it might vary based on which parent mix was used to create the chick, but that this could be a general guideline to go on.

Like I said I may have got lucky. I do know that this year the EEs they have at the feed store are marked pullets and the ones with the chipmunk markings the Vs are all over the place no definate V so now I am really thinking I got lucky, or like you said based on parent mix.

From everything I read on this thread so far, I believe my chicks show signs of being pullets, I was hoping to get your opinions here are pics of the two of them:

1st off is Haddie - both chicks are 6 weeks old and do not show much of a comb at all. Both have green legs and both have a noticeable pattern of feathers and so far not much red feathering. So what do you guys think? Thank you for your help!









..and Maddie

90% sure those are pullets, though the second one has very unique markings (gold spangled head combined with partridge/wild type body)
