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

[Chick559]

here is the same bird different angle. The area over his nose is flat compared to the other roo which has a regular comb with fingers

That's a Wyandotte, not an Easter Egger. How old?

Gold Laced Wynette ?! I didn't think it looked like a EE, it is 10.5 weeks old

 

[Chick559]

That's funny bc the gold laced wasn't an option on the board at the feed store

Gold with clear black lacing, cushion comb, and yellow legs. There isn't anything else it could be. 10.5 weeks with that comb, it's a boy.

 

[Chick559]

You guys are totally right. Gold laced!!

Cockerel, my 11 week old Wyandotte have no rose comb showing.

Is Loki a girl or a boy? I know it's still a bit too early to tell, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Loki is a few days older than 5 weeks.. Always wants to be held when I go to feed him/her.. Very friendly..
Father is a EE and mother is a Black Australorp.

It was really hard getting a full picture..

 

[junebuggena]

Still a bit early on that one. Nothing screaming roo yet.

Fingers crossed then! She's the only one to make it through our first hatch.. 2nd hatch was much better though, 14 out of 16.. There's now 9 more fathered by the EE, the other roo is a lorp.. Way to early to tell for them though.
