Hello - I was wondering if someone could help me determine the gender on these two EE babies. Thanks in advance!



I took two of the white one. S/he was harder to get to hold still.

Both pullets. (We have a blue minirex! He's a sweetie.)

Err, ehmm, well this one is tricky. Coloring looks pullet, but comb and overall shape looks cockerel. I'm leaning toward cockerel, but definitely want to see what others think.

about 4 weeks old? Maybe 5?

Do you have another pic to show a side view? The comb looks like it could be a cockerel, but would need to see whole bird to confirm.

About 7 weeks old. The one in front is the one im concerned about, i think the other one is female. Hopefully. Lol!

Quote: When people look at the feathering for sexing EEs, I've always thought they were looking at chicks around 4 weeks, where the males have smaller or no tails and much more chick fuzz on their heads compared to females. I'm curious to see if your feather method works. Hope you can post when they are older.

It's really hard to see from the picture, but I think you might have 2 cockerels. sorry! If you can get some clearer pics it might help.
