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

[mark9199]

I've been assuming that I got all girls but now am wondering. Sorry for the lack of photos but if anyone can tell from these 2 pictures that she's not a he...? Thanks

Okay, I went out last night and took some more pictures. She is now close to 11 weeks old in these last 5 pictures. And after reading through some of the information here yesterday, I'm really thinking she's a he LoL. Opinions, please, and if you can, say how sure you are and why so I can learn something. Many thanks.

Audrey or Albert???

Sorry, that's a boy. See the mahogany coming through on the shoulders? He's also starting to get skinny saddle feathers already.

I'd have to say Albert with the red patches.

I'm 99% sure now...but just to confirm before we make an appointment at the butcher's...Ginger is actually Big G, yes?

Oh yes definitely.

Wow, nice rooster!

 

[Nickeechickee]

Oh yes definitely.

Sigh. So much for the "oh, we've never seen the hatchery get it wrong" assurance they gave me at the local feed store where I bought him.

Wow, nice rooster!

Thank you. Want him? We are trying to find him a home before eating him, but I know roosters are hard to place.

Ahahaha

No thanks... I have a million little roos and big roos and all in between running around that are going to get eaten here real soon.

Thanks for the replies. I was afraid of that. I don't have the space for a roo so he's heading back to the farm where we bought him unless I can find him a home between now and Saturday. Let me know if interested. Thanks again!

I'm wondering if you can help me tell boys from girls?
The first one is from a Brown Red Ameraucana rooster, and hatched from "Ameraucana" hen's blue egg. I'm guessing roo, based on the red coming in on his shoulders. This chick is 5 weeks old.

The second is from the same farm, same hatch, Brown Red Ameraucana rooster, "Ameraucana" hen's blue egg. I can't see any red, but the tail seems narrow. Roo too?



The next chicks are 2-3 days old in the pics. They all come from "Ameraucana" blue eggs, but the farm I got the eggs from had two roosters, a Brown Red Ameraucana and a Buff Cochin.
Chick #1. Hatched from a blue egg.

Chick no#2:



Chick number 3:

Chick number 4:
None of the new chicks have the Easter Eggers' green legs.
Any ideas?
And if it takes 5 weeks to figure out weather we will be having eggs or BBQ, that's okay too.
