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

Cute!  It's amazing how subtle the differences in the chick down can be.  I read on a thread where it's all about getting new colors (dun, khaki, porcelain, ...) and people can tell on day old chicks what color they are.    Not me!!  Gold based birds and silver based birds, genes that dilute colors and genes that mask colors, partial dilutions and incomplete dominance.  Makes my head spin.  And that's not even considering the patterns! 

My birds are pets more than anything, and I love them having different colors so I can tell them apart.  Don't want to offend anyone by calling them wrong name or they might not lay me an egg!    You have a nice bunch there.  Now the wait is on to see the eggs!

Haha yes mine are more pets than anything and they are named! Lol. I just hope neither of the EE are Roos!

Curious - Pullet (or PUPO Pullet until proven otherwise) I really think it's a girl though. LOVE the beard. The one you posted second that looks like mine - i guess we may both have clean faces, too. funny.

Quote: Oops, kind of left out the part about them both looking like pullets. The one I'm curious about is the black chick with all the white on the wings. What breed is it? You may want to watch that one...

The black with the white is a silver laced Wyandotte and I'm 99% sure that he's a Roo. Already have a home lined up for him. I hate it though because he's so gorgeous.

so, I bought six "pullets" and now I hear a rooster in the mornings. My heart breaks because I'm almost certain it's Floyd and he/she is my favorite (please don't tell the others) I just love Floyd's personality. So I am requesting assistance in helping me make sure my pullets are indeed pullets. Thank you!

Thank you for your response. I wish I was a millionaire so I could have a rooster sanctuary.
