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

[kenzier093]

Hi new to this thread. I recently acquired 3 chicks. The person I got them from has ameraucana and Easter eggers. I'm sure 2 are Easter Eggers and 1 I'm hoping is an Ameraucana hen. Could I get someone's opinion.

2 Easter Egger cockerels?




Ameraucana pullet? Could it still be a hen with 3 rows on it's comb? It's tail feathers do curve down and it does have a uniformed color. Just hoping

Man, that sucks. Looks to me like they are all roosters.

So this is my 10-week-old that I posted earlier. Pattern and comb still say pullet to me, but the tail is more curved than I've ever seen on a female. A quick search told me it's possible given the mixed heritage of EEs (though I didn't find picture examples), but what do you guys think?

Solid colors are harder to tell but the comb is looking rather masculine on the blue one. Add in those hefty legs and I suspect you have all boys.

SHE'S a beauty!

This is our second 10-week EE. Same issue...I think we're in the clear except that darn tail. I feel like they can't BOTH be boys since we just got 2 from the pullet bin and they both have it, but we all know life isn't fair.

The comb is similar to what I just posted....single-row pea without real redness.

I assume easter egger. She is supposed to be a she, but she is bigger than all the other chickens in the brooder the samexage (and I have a LF Brahma in there) and she is the most aggressive of the bunch. Plus, that comb is pinker than any others (pic doesn't show how pink). 4 weeks old. Is she a she?

Looks girly from what I can see but you're missing the critical side shot.

Forget the tail. That's a very feminine looking pullet!

One more, he also has a single straight comb.

Adorable but wait a couple weeks and let the feathers fill in.

Thanks much debid

Both my EE PULLETS have a slighty curved tail, and one is Black and white. You'll get eggs from this one

Where'd you get her?
