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

[Chickens Naturally]

I love my Easter Eggers! I had some that I crossed quite a few breeds into over about four or five years and crossed one of those EE Roosters over some White Leghorn hens and got some yellow legs and some pearl legs out of that hatch.

A is a roo for sure. B is hard to tell since it's blurry... but I would lean towards roo with that one as well.

Oh, those are cockerels without a doubt. Even blurry, the tell-tale red wing patches are showing.

Is this 7-week old OE a boy or girl? I am REALLY hoping for a girl, since olive green is my favorite color, and she is the only OE that I could find. And she is tied for my favorite, but we couldn't keep a rooster, as far as I can tell. And please ignore my face- my mouth was open from concentration, and I didn't know I was in the shot... e.e

Looks girl to me!

Definitely a boy, based on the dark red coming in on the wings and the pointed saddle feathers I see forming at the base of the tail...
