Any body able to give me any help on sexing my easter eggers? Not the best pics but wondering if you can tell from coloring. I think the one on the left is a too as Si is black and white, has most prominent comb that is seeming to get redder lately, is slower to feather out (which makes him look kinda crazy--hence the name si) he (and other redder one are both way smaller than the others...they are all about 5 wks old. The other two have similar coloring... esmerelda jumped down just before I snapped the pic. Coloring of feathers is similar, but Oreo has cheatah print neck feathers, fatter neck. And esmerelda has longer skinny neck and green legs.

That's kinda what I figured. Hard to get good photos of the little burgers. Between their skittishness and my not so great camera!

New pictures of Lotus. She laid the green egg a couple posts ahead. Was hoping for blue because of her pea comb and slate-lookin' legs but yeah.

Edit: Sept 10

She laid a blue-ish egg today.



So strange. (The brown eggs on the right are from my Red Sex Links.)​

The color only aligns with sex in the first generation. Breed red sexlink to red sexlink and you'll get a bunch of red and white chicks of both genders. And that's what it looks like -- a 2nd generation "sexlink" cockerel.

Thanks, I did not realize. I keep learning on BYC.

Congratulations! Love the range of colors. I can't wait for our first eggs.

Neat! She's a true Easter Egger. Laying different color eggs. They're beautiful. Can't wait to get some of my own someday.

I thought if an easter egger pullet lays a particular colored egg, she always will lay that color... Or does one lay different colors in their lifetime?
