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

[brecosky]

Single combs are a recessive trait. From what I understand, the silkie comb would be dominant over a single comb. So the only single comb bird with black skin that I can think of is Cemani.

Cool thanks I never would have even thought of that I would rlly love a couple more like her she's great but finding those would be a pain and when I looked they were way to expensive

I had someone else say maybe a cross between a NJG and a Sumatran. do you have any knowledge on telling the age of a bird??

Can anyone tell me the breed of this hen?? I was told New Jersey Giant but I don't feel that is correct I was also told under a year any idea of what she is??

The rare mutation is called Fibromelanism. Meat, bones, and organs are also black. Cemani eggs are white, which is surprising. You might want to ask on this thread.

Cool indeed. Not sure I'm into black meat, but for eggs she would be great.

Quite the conversation piece.

Does this look like an Easter Egger as that is what I was told it is, and also roo or hen? I'm afraid it's a roo as its about 9 weeks old and starting to act like a roo and even crowing

Cool, cool their were three like this In the clutch another hen and a rooster do you have anymore Info on them. I wanted both hens but the guy didn't wanna sell the other hen without the male and I wasn't rlly wanting to hatch any chicks but if their as cool as everyone keeps telling me on this page I might have to see if I can pick them up for a breeding idea. Lol I just didn't wanna get stuck with a bunch of unwanted chicks like I had before when I let a couple leghorns hatch out their chicks.

These are Stretch. This should be a better close up of her comb. Her? His?

Stretch and Pickles are both pullets.
