Is this a hen? She (I pray) is about 18 weeks old.

Yep, that's a pullet.

Junebugenna!

THANK YOU!!! I started reading about the pea comb with 3 rows and rec patches on their wings and was starting to worry. I will sleep much better tonight. "Clover" seems to be the one that sounds the alarm and gets the others running around because of what she perceives is a threat.

Anyway wondered if that was a rooster trait. I'm so relieved. Many thanks

At 18 weeks she is unquestionably a girl. Her comb turning red means she is getting closer to laying. You could have worried if it looked that way at 8 weeks

Beautiful coloring.

@beginnergirl , thats a pullet for sure.

 

[beginnergirl]

Thanks Bruceha2000 for the complement. She is a pretty girl.

Happy to get comformation from others, mymillefleur)) I would have be very hard to give her away as our city does not allow roosters. Looking forward to eggs!

Another vote for pullet

These two are 13 weeks old and I want to say pullet - but after reading about the coloring, etc... and that their dad is completely white, I am stumped. The rest of the EE's we have that are their age already either have a large pea comb or they don't. But they aren't exactly EE's, some are EE's and some are OE's. They both have green/slate legs. They've been handled since hatching and they are skittish. One acts roo-ish, hard sparring with other roos.

Since this is EE specific, I thought I'd ask here. Thank you!









Their dad - who was a VERY late bloomer.

They both looks like pullets to me. Having a salmon breast I have never seen in a rooster. Their combs are pinkush, but nothing else signifies them being cockerels. Saddles are smooth and rounded. No brick red coloring in the shoulders either. The second one looks pullet for sure anyhows. So since the first has the same color pattern, I'd say your chances look good.

Thank you SO much! They've had me stumped. I am so tickled. Yay! And I'm excited to see how they turn out, color wise. Day made for sure.
