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

Drum roll . . . . . . . . . .



Its a Boy!!! My BF woke me up at 5 am this morning saying he heard a weird noise outside, kind of like a woman screaming. I hopped out of bed and ran barefoot to the coop. Well sure enough these were Bubba's first crowing attempts. I sure hope he gets to his rooster business soon so I can hatch some of his babies before I have to find him a new home.

Thanks for all the input everyone! 20 weeks and we finally have our answer

Thats too bad but at least now you know for sure. The suspense is the worst.

Hi everyone I was wondering if you might help me sex my two Ameraucana's. they are almost five weeks old.

I think these are a bit young yet to be able to tell. Can you post some new pics next week?

 

[chics]

Sure! Thank you so very much, I appreciate your help. I'm pretty new to chickens and greatly appreciate any guidance.

Girl!! 'specially that coloring! Stance and the way she holds her tail too!
She looks SO much like my Lotus, which is crazy! I'm kind of in awe! :O

hello! was pointed here for assistance in identifying the genders of my Easter Eggers. ive got 8, straight run. they are about 14 weeks old now. ive got most of the genders sorted out (i clearly picked poorly lol!) but a couple have me stumped. i posted an individual thread for all the chickens but they pointed me here. ive gotten some speculations but i want more on these 2 specific chickens. thanks! some have said cockerel, but most have said hen. small tail but seem to have some wispy feathers at the end. small light colored comb and smaller in size than the other cockerel i have. most have said rooster, but others have said to give it the benefit of the doubt. tail is always straight out like that, smallest of them all, that reddish color i think is actually just dirty... the comb doesnt seem as big or red as the other cockerel i have of the same age.

I agree that the top is most likely a pullet, but I'm leaning roo on the bottom one due to the patchy natural of the pattern on his wings.

I think that's molting you're seeing on the lower, right. My red-buff gal lost patterning as she went through her first sets of juvie feathers and then regained patterning as a hen. Her back looks pretty even yet with those keyhole markings which doesn't seem to happen on males.

@aoxa, could you look at my chicks and tell me what you think?

I think they are too young right now. One of them I am leaning more towards boy, but I don't think they are feathered out enough to guess yet.

With Draye on this one. I find the white and black ones are usually boys.
