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

[Alice EG]

What do you guy think, Wellsumer Roo, or EE Pullet/Roo?





So there was a mix up by the hatchery, which they have been great about addressing, though it will mean a second small batch of chicks to introduce to the flock.

We ordered 2 SSussex pullets, 4 Wellsumer pulletss, 1 Wellsumer Cockerel, and 3 EE Pullets among the 21 chicks we ordered.

We got 6 s.sussex, and 2 EE pullets and I thought this one might have been the wellsumer roo, but I don't think he is a roo, and maybe she's the missing EE. But I think she is soooo pretty, whatever she is.

I don't know if it's the lighting, but the legs look green so that's most likely your EE. May be a pullet. How old?

@ Chicken Bee, s/he is 8 weeks old. The EE rooster that was part of the same group has very red comb and is developing waddle. And very similar grey green legs.

She's an Easter Egger pullet.

Is there anyone who thinks this might be a pullet? (I think I'm just in denial cause this one is a favourite! Lol)

Both of the birds pictured look like pullets as far as I can see. Could you get a full body shot of the EE?

Not a Welsummer or a male. Easter Egger pullet.

@mymilliefleur Update pics.

Silver boy.




This one is interesting.



This one is kinda cool.




Here's a buff, he's got red shoulders







This one kinda looks like that other one but lighter, they were nearly identical as chicks.






Here's a gray one.

Very pretty birds!

I think they are all cockerels.

Thank you. I am questioning the sex of the ginger coloured EE. The chicks are 7 weeks. Here are some other pics taken over the last week or so (so EE is approx 6 weeks in these pics). (Will try to take some new pics later today.)

There is nothing screaming rooster here. I think she is a pullet.

Thanks so much for the input Opie will have to be renamed.

Really?! That would be wonderful! I've had a couple of people insist that because it's head is ginger coloured & chest is black, plus some darker red patches on shoulders means that is a cockerel. I'd be pretty happy of they turned out to be wrong. There's definitely no red colouring to its comb or wattle & is comb is no bigger than the other EE that I have (who I am pretty sure is a pullet).

Tail says pullet to me.
