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

[jon916]

Thanks guys. I was pretty sure of it quite a while ago but the Easter eggers are a little new to me. Unfortunately I am not interested in breeding them, so it is time to find them a new home. A little disappointed they were sold as sexed chicks but I know it happens.

If feather sexing was surely positive whatdoyathink?

Easter Eggers can't be feather sexed.

Here are two of my young Easter Eggers. They are about 9 weeks old now. If I were to guess I would say the white one is a pullet and the redish one is a cockerel, but I am interested in everyone's opinion.

The white one:

The reddish one:

Thoughts?

Both look like pullets, at least for now.

Quote: The first one, a pullet for sure. Not so sure about the red. I see darker red on the wings and the comb is reddish (a better picture would help), so may be a slow developing male, but I would hang onto it a few more weeks because it's not cockerel yet, if you know what I mean!

Thanks for the input. Here are a couple better pictures of the red one's comb.

The comb looks small/narrow and pale to me.

I blew the photos up, and I don't see anything shouting rooster on either. I think you have two pullets.
