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

[Maggiee]

I'm back one more time! I think my flock has mostly revealed itself, but there is still one I'm a little unsure of.
These are our two confirmed hens:



Two confirmed roosters: (the little white rooster started crowing a few days ago!)







THIS is the bird who has me a little confused. It has a three-rowed comb, but it is much paler than the other two roosters. This bird is much more passive, and hangs out most of the time with the hens and shows little rooster behaviour. (Doesn't really fight like the other two nor show the same aggression/confidence). I guess I just really want it to be a hen....thoughts?


Standing with the two hens:




Back feather pattern. I really like this bird's colouring.

I say rooster, just a calm one! Probably the other two are more dominant.

Can you get a comb shot of the very first one. That dark red on the wing has me a little confused, but your last one is a cockerel.

Hi, here's the comb shot of the red female, whom we've called Scarlet.

Ok, yea sorry. I probably gave you a scare. It is a pullet.

 

[Maggiee]

I was PRETTY certain she was a girl! Not to worry.

This is what I call a "wingman" cockerel.

No idea which are roosters or hens, other than Darek being almost definitely a rooster, but what do you guys think?

Well everyone here was right, my EE turned out to be a pullet! She laid her first green egg today!
