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

[mymilliefleur]

Ok everyone 3rd installment of as the chicken sexing turns.... 9+weeks old. Small in stature and leg girth.

Looks like a pullet. I LOVE that color!

I posted this picture a few days ago and someone told me girl but I read above that girls would not have a comb that developed. Is it possible this is a boy. She is about 9 weeks old. Our other to EE do not have this big of combs. This is our first go with chickens. And are totally inexperienced. Actually the one of our other EE is pictured besides her. She's white.

Only one row of peas, probably a pullet.



X2.

I agree, looks like my single comb girls did at that age (think Buff Orpington or Production Red.

I love that guess. She really has some beautiful feathers. She gets more and more of the darker red each day it seems but her red on her chest with the blue trim (lace pattern?) are beautiful and her tail feathers are gorgeous. I was leaning toward pullet but that red keeps scaring me.

Hope I can get someone's opinion, 2 1/2 wk old OE chicks, looking the the 2 I have pictured for comparison, does the first one have a 3 row pea comb??
