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

Can anyone tell me if my two EE's are pullets? They are 7 weeks old. I was told they were pullets. Just want to make sure. Thanks

I usually only vote on ones that look like mine....even coloring and pale combs look like pullets for now. This is mine that yours resemble, she lays pretty green eggs.

About 13/14 weeks old and this Easter egger mostly looks female, but lately the tails been looking different than her (his?) sisters and s/he's been standing straight up when you walk up to them.

Another case of a teenage pullet molting her tail feathers. Seem to get at least one or two posts like these a day, this time of year.

8 Weeks old... need some help, pullets or roos??

! I think they might be cockerels but someone more experienced will correct me if I'm wrong.

Welcome to BYC. Yes, cockerels. The patchy coloring with the dark red coming in on the wings and the breast turning black are cockerel traits. Pretty boys. They look like twins!
