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

Do you have pictures?

No, I don't have the hen in question any more and I've never been someone to take pictures. I didn't get my chickens from a hatchery though. I got them from individuals who bred their own chickens.

Oh no! I hope your wrong lol I want at least 4 pullets! Are you going by comb or color? Today they are exactly 4 weeks. In a few days ill get better pictures

Yes, please post more current pictures. I looked at the combs and the feather coloring. In addition to my previous comment, I think 4 is a girl, and 8 may be a boy. They are too young to be certain though. Have you got names for them?

Ok, its bugging me..lol
I'm 90% sure "Posie" is a roo..."her" comb is MUCH pinker than my other 2 ERs and there are reddish tail feathers coming in. His comb does appear to have three rows
Here's a collage of his comb and tail

And the other 2 for comparison

They're 4 weeks.

Wow, that first one is definitely a roo, you're right!

Pity :/
We can't have roos in my city, and he's such a handsome lil guy. And my daughter's favorite.
She'll get over it quickly, she's 3 lol
Thanks for your help!

We have the same issue. No Roos allowed here. Except we are on 3 acres and not in the city.

I wish I was near you. I could use another roo.

 

[Brookshire11]

If you were closer I'd give him to you in a heartbeat! Lol.

That is one heck of a lovely tail Sharkie's got on her for a pullet.
Congrats on the egg. I'm so glad she turned out to be a hen for you.
