Can anyone tell whether these 6 week old EEs are Roos or Pullets? Thank you.

Both look to be pullets.

This is Pharaoh, he is approx 3 weeks old. His comb is quite a bit larger and redder than the other EE's the same age who have pea combs. I know 3 weeks is a bit early but I really want him to be a roo! I am impatient, lol. I already know that the white one and the multi coloured one are Roos. No need to comment on them Thanks!!

Thanks!!

Looks like a boy to me. Some massive feet he's got! Wonder if that means he will be very large.

Yay!! I am so happy to hear that I am not the only one who thinks so!

I'm seeing the beginnings of white patches on the wings and pretty thick legs, so won't be surprised if it's a boy.  Too soon to be sure.  Watch for more white to come in. 

Where should i look for white? All over or in one area? Im thining I super lucked out and got half roos half pullets even tho all my ees are supposed to be pullets

Black and white (silver) cockerels will usually develop patches of white on the shoulder/wing area. Occasionally they will get rooster red, in addition to the white patches.

Here is our first EE that we hatched from a blue egg.Turns out Fluffy is a rooster for sure! He tries to crow but nothing comes out.

He's going to be a beautiful rooster! Great pics to show the age progression and the cockerel clues at 7 wks. (wing patch and fat comb)

That is a gorgeous bird! I love that her feathers look lavender. BEAUTIFUL!
