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

[wayner123]

I am pretty new to the easter eggers so I am not sure what I have here. Hopefully you guys and gals will be able to help me out. Here are a couple pictures of my 3:







The main one I am concerned about being a roo is Pancake (forefront in pic):



But maybe there is more than one roo? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Gertie and Norma look like pullets. If Norma is on the left. The others look cockerel.

Wayner123, they all look like pullets, I think. How old are they?

Agree that all look like pullets. I'm assuming they're older than 8 weeks.

Really? I would think Penny is a girl too...

They are right at 4 months. The tail feathers and dark yellow legs on Pancake are what have me questioning things. But the lack of saddle feathers or comb had me confused as well. Thank you for the reply.

That comb at 7 weeks is a cockerel. The 2nd pic of the back shows the confirming dark red areas on the wings, although it's a little hard to see in shadow.

Kind of thought they were older; they are even getting red in the face. All girls!! No doubt. You should start getting eggs soon.

Cockerels are pretty unmistakable at 20 weeks. They wake you up in the morning!

Okay, thanks for explaining.
