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

I'd love to get some opinions on my 9 week frizzle EE. The wattles developed early so I thought roo but the comb hasnt grown much. And no dark red patches on the wings.

I have 2 olive eggers that are a mix of wheaten ameraucana x BCM x welsummer. They are 6 weeks old. They have a hatch mate who has a distinct 3 row peacomb that turned red at 3 weeks. These two I'm not sure of as their combs only darkened this past week. Thanks for any help!

Hello! I am new here and new to raising my own chickens. I bought to "Aracana" pullets at the feed store. I realize they are EEers from my searches here. But now I am worried that the "pretty" ones I so meticulously chose are male. Thoughts? Thanks!

Kangadoodle, chicks purchased from hatcheries (presumably where the feed store bought them) where they were sexed as pullets are female 90-some percent of the time. Yours are too young to say they are female by patterning but they aren't showing any male traits yet either.

Thanks! After reading some info here, I was scared that not choosing the chipmunk ones was a bad idea in hindsight. I am really hoping they are girls.
