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

I am going to hatch some eggs in the bator next spring and I was wondering if someone could take a guess as to what color chicks I will get from these two?

You'll never really know until you try. In my last hatch, I got a black pullet from a white ( EE+ Leghorn) hen & brown EE rooster. The kids named the chick "Superhero" because she had a black mask & cape over the yellow fluff.

you will probably end up with random EE colors. They will stay close to the red/black spectrum but still random. If you select the babies similar to the roo or hen and breed them back to the parents you will start to get less random colors.

Ok now I'm freaking out! This is Scarlet my almost 11 week old EE. My other EE looks nothing like her. Boy or girl?

A body shot showing the tail would help, but the comb looks like three rows in this pic, possible roo.
