So in our order of pullets from Cacklehatchery earlier this month we got 5 Easter Eggers. I picked out two, a blue and a dark mahogany chipmunk colored one. They are 16 days old today. And I'm already beginning to suspect my blue one is another roo. D:




edit:::

The more I look at "her" I'm thinking I see 3 rows on this one as well.


I SWEAR! There's something in my water that turns all chicks I raise into roosters.

Well, looks similar to my Lotus and her comb. I don't have a picture of her frontal at the same age as yours... but here's when I first got her.



She turned out to be a girl obviously- she has a three-row comb.



And here she is now!



I wouldn't say it's a roo this soon... wait a bit! :)
 
I sure hope that sunflower and CG are right. I'm in love and I have falling hard for these. I think that chick 2 is a roo so I know I will have to give him away. I already have 4 sexlink hens that I got in march. Never would have thought that I would love chickens so! Thanks
 
I asked this in another spot then found this. I have 4 chicks I hatched out 9 weeks ago. I am pretty sure one is a roo but I can't decide on what the other 3 are... the parents are ee moms, with dad being a barred rock and arucana mix (that is what I was told I think it is EE and BR)

Here are mine, sorry the pictures are not that great, catching them is a challenge!


All their backs


The solitary brown one of the bunch ( my white & red roo in front and the daddy is way in the back)


the brown one and the one that looks barred rock (it's comb has been developed like that for weeks)


The barred rock one


This one I am 90% sure it is a cockerel it developed the red in it's neck and on it's shoulders just over a week ago.


My sole black one no beard like the others

I don't know if you an truly tell from their combs because their dad is not a full EE. 3 have the triple rose comb and one a single comb.

<----Brown/Red is a male (common male patterning), black with red shoulders is also male by patterning
All their backs


The solitary brown one of the bunch ( my white & red roo in front and the daddy is way in the back)

<------ Both male
the brown one and the one that looks barred rock (it's comb has been developed like that for weeks)

<--- Too much comb to be a 9-week pullet, sorry.
The barred rock one

<---- Male, 100%
This one I am 90% sure it is a cockerel it developed the red in it's neck and on it's shoulders just over a week ago.

<----Your only shot at a pullet but it's too early to say with certainty that it is
