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

So if a chick gets the 3 pea comb at 7 weeks it is definitely a boy even if there are no other Roo signs?
Definitely is a pretty strong word when trying to sex a 7 week old bird.

Here are some better pics
That looks like a pullet to me. Can't see the comb very well, but a developing cockerel comb is usually more prominent and can be seen in profile. A close up of the comb might help confirm things.
 
Just be cautious at swaps.  There are some horror stories about people taking sick birds and infecting everyone there as well as sending home illness to birds on people's shoes.

Just sayin'

True. I've been fortunate and buying from people I already know at the ones I've attended. All healthy and happy so far! :)
 
I'm going to disagree and say your black and white one in the middle is a pullet. It has one row on its pea comb and it just looks like a girl to me!

It definitely has a girls tail. These pea combs really throw me for a loop. I would hold onto that one myself until I was more sure.
