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

Pretty sure the crele-patterned one is a cockerel as well as the red one with the well-developed comb in the set of face shots. No wing patches showing yet on the blues so they may be pullets but I'he seen them pop up later than this so I wouldn't promise anything.

Here's a beter side veiw of her. I really didn't want roos in my layer pen so I'm really hoping pullet. She's so pretty I'd hate to have to rehome her

100% cockerel. Sorry.

I was afraid of that. He has two friends who look just like him developmentwise

Were they sold as sexed pullets? Or did you manage to pull three boys from the straight-run bin?

They were supposed to be sexed pullets. I ordered 8 of them from MPC. They can be a little pricey, but up until now I've had no complaints with them. They're the only company I've tried where everybody shows up alive and healthy.

I agree that he's a cockerel. Really pretty, though.

No company promises 100% sexed chickens. Usually they only promise 90%.

Oh! Let's see the other EEs, then. Maybe they're female and you're missing the subtleties of the difference at this age.

I'm stuck at work right now so I can't go out and take more pics, but here's a pic of one who I'm sure is a pullet. This is Jezabell. I just love her extra fluffy face.

Is a beautiful roo.

OK experts, how often does this coloring turn out to be a hen? This baby is only 2 weeks but, I love guessing games so I figured I would start posting progressive feathering for my fellow newbies.

Thanks in advance for your expertise I have been reading through this thread for awhile.

No real discernible comb but, again only 2 weeks old. Those big feet concern me....
