Hi, I'm new to chickens and completely obsessed with sexing my 3.5 week old chicks. I know it's early, so just investigating signs to look out for and learning as much as I can. I'm already sure I have a SLW roo and am suspicious of this EE we call Professor Cluck...at least a gender neutral name. We can keep one roo but not two! This one has been the instigator of the flock from day 1. Orange/red feathers coming in on the chest. Had the "chipmunk" look as a baby. Much different coloring and temperament from Eggnes, my EE from the same batch I'm sure is a pullet.

This is PC -

(PC on left next to SLW I'm sure is a roo)

And Eggnes - a gentle soul with I think pretty even partridge coloring, right?

My husband says the mystery of the chicks' sexes is really exciting and a sign his life is too boring. Lol.

A couple more of the Professor's tail. Thinner than Eggnes, sticks up a bit more.

Thank you so much for your help! I've learned a lot from reading though this thread.

Still too young to be 100% sure, but both your Easter Eggers look like pullets for now.

Please female or male?

Pullet or cockerel, please? 12 weeks old, the top photo was taken yesterday.



Same bird as above, but the photo was taken about a week ago.

Clear male saddle feathers and deep, rusty red patches on the shoulder. It's definitely a cockerel.
