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

Male or Female? 8 weeks

The black and white one is a cockerel. Need better pictures of the brown one to guess.

Chick #1 - fast featherer with largish comb

Chick #2 Puffball

Chick #3 slow featherer that seems to have caught up

Chick #4 this is the only one that I'm almost sure is a pullet - the rest are still TBD to me

(L to R) 2, 3, 4

Update: 9 weeks old now. Still seem like pullets to me. We have for sure 1 maybe 2 roosters out of our younger chicks, and the one was obvious at around 3.5 weeks. So here they are:

Chick #1: Now "Raisin-face" (my 4 yr old has been doing the naming)

Chick #2: Puffball

Chick #3

Chick #4

I'm excited to see what their names are! I let my drunk friends help me name mine lol that is how we ended up with puffy face McGee, dark wing duck, heather with feathers etc etc

Please tell me this is one of those weird pullets that crows and that's brown and not rooster rust! 12 weeks old, bought as a rainbow layer pullet.

I'd like to tell you those things, but it would be a lie. That is definitely a cockerel.

I've been suspecting but was in denial!

He's a looker.
