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

Also #2's tail looks rooish to me but #3 looks like a pullets tail! I hope I'm not making this more confusing...

Number 1 is a pullet! I have one that looks identical "Joplin" is her name #2 has even coloring from what I can see, but the black and whites are so tricky. How many rows of peas does she have? #3 looks like a pullet but the color on the wings makes me almost say roo, can you get comb shots of #2 and #3? They are all so pretty, neat to see so many colors!!

Thank you so much for your opinion...
Both are pretty. I'll try to get a front on shot of both. They are both very timid to a camera! The white one is aggressive to the other chickens but someone said since she/he had LOLOL

EE#2

Pullets ???? Have another pict I thought I had downloaded so I'll add it asap...
This one has been segregated due to being rather aggressive...solitary confinement! The others still try to look over the "wall" that I have set up..maybe another week and I'll put him/her back. Had been told this was a pullet...can't get a great pict but has the beige feathers on the chest.

This is EE #3. Still has a pink comb. Got all of these the first of March.

#1 is girl
#2 has roo's tail. Need to see better picture of comb, and side view from head to toe to see stance and tail better.
#3 likely roo due to red/rust color on wings. Also, roosters tend to be more aggressive.

You are so welcome! This is my 2nd year with chickens and the EE's can actually be easier to sex than most because of the clues in color and comb. I have 2 one year olds and 4 17 week olds, one is a rooster. I can't wait to see what color eggs the new ladies will lay! With some new face shots we should have yours sexed easily by their age!

I hope everyone doesn't mind if I re-upload some newer shots. Here are my five Easter Eggers, at 6 and a half weeks old. (Not including the Speckled Sussex, who I've uploaded previously.)
I've organized them by chicken with a few angles for each.


#1. Dark-coloured, I feel pretty certain this is a cockerel.







#2. This was the fluffy little grey chick that I really loved and hoped would be a pullet.







#3. Another black and white. I thought this was a cockerel when the bubs were young, but s/he is much more petite than the others and seems to have female-type feathering?



#4. I am leaning towards pullet for this one, even though it's fairly large. Such beautiful colours!






#5. Cockerel...? Comb is quite dark and wide and s/he has rust over wings...

I believe 2 and 5 are your Roos! Please post some new pics in another week or 2 so we can see any changes

#1 Not sure, need a better side view and close up of comb. An interesting color on the wings, but doesn't look cockerel red in the pics.
#2 pullet cockerel
#3 cockerel pullet
#4 probably pullet, although maybe some red coming in??? A full side view would help.
#5 cockerel



edit: oops, mixed up #2 & #3 (both those are sure things, too!

)
