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

[Blooie]

I LOVE my EE rooster! You may have a pullet I'm definitely not a expert!! Others on this thread know a ton! The legs just look like Sassy. Get others thoughts.

Oh, sorry...I was so busy being sarcastic about my own E Egger that I may have given you the impression that the cutie posted above was mine. He/she belongs to Dianne 88. Um, is it a bit of a coincidence that my name is also Diane?

That's funny! I was just back tracking. Looking at names. I'm stuck in my chair one of my chicks has a hurt leg. so we are snuggling and I'm doing my homework

Legs are very thick, tall posture, high tail. Very young, but I am guessing roo.

I know the mom to this chick is an EE but the dad could be a dark egg Roo to get the OE. I'll attach another pic

Look at the difference in thickness of the legs of your 2 chicks. Post photos in another couple of weeks but there are some roo characteristics going on now.

I'm back to see what you all think of my chicks now They are 9.5 weeks now. Sorry pics aren't the best.

Last time I posted we all agreed Willy Nilly is a roo. He is developing right along like a roo, he is the black and white one in the photos.


This is Claudia, last time I shared we were undecided about her. I'm still confused about her, but leaning more towards pullet?





This is Gertrude. I still think she is a pullet. Am I right? Will she lay brown eggs because she doesn't have the pea comb?





This is Julia. This is the best close up I could get of her comb and face. Sorry. She is quite shy of the camera. I'm still thinking pullet for her?

The only one I had to look twice at was Claudia, but, pretty sure you have 3 pullets
I KNOW those last two are

Thank you! Hopefully Claudia starts laying and not crowing lol

All 3 look like pullets. Gertrude's comb looks like one of those modifies pea combs. Not sure what that means for egg color, but I think there's a chance for green. Maybe someone has more experience with these.

EEs are like a box of chocolates....

I have a hen that could be her twin. I don't remember your previous post but I have no doubt on Claudia (or either of the other two gold gals).

All of my EEs have funky combs -- noodle, roseish, peaish but tall... They all lay blue or green. Mine come from a small, local hatchery so I cannot speak for all sources but I will say that modified pea combed birds absolutely can have the blue shell gene.

I have several chicks that look just like the ones in your pictures. Can you tell me if your chick turned out to be a hen or rooster? I'm curious and hopeful mine are pullets too!
