It's much to young to tell. While cockerels almost always have 3 rows of peas, pullets can too, so there is still hope for the top two. Can you post photos when they are about 8 weeks? By than we should be able to give you an accurate guess.

I sure will. The dad was a really pretty lavender with red wings and body. One cockerel is wanted, not three.

Sorry, are you looking for an opinion on gender for this one? How old is it?

Male, 100%. He's already getting the saddle and hackle feathers.

Hi friends! I'm a relatively new chicken owner and I thought I had female EEs... Up until very recently when they started crowing regularly. I was living in denial about one and was shocked when I physically saw the other crow. I'm still not 100% certain on the other. Can anyone help make that determination?

These are the two in question. I'm certain the one with white tailfeathers is a roo, the one with gray tailfeathers is the one I'm not 100% about. They are both about six months old, hatched some time in May. I brought them home on Father's Day.

Here's a couple more pictures:

Thanks in advance for your input, though I'm afraid I already know the answer!

Splotchy coloring pointed hackle and saddle feathers and a three row pea comb spell disaster
