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

[akwood14]

I know this has nothing to do with sexing chickens but I get the most responses from this thread. My hens have only been laying 2 months or so and I haven't had this issue, but I bit into a hard boiled egg today and it was so high in iron that it tasted like blood. After 3 hours of tasting it... I still have metal mouth. What could this be? I do have well water. Could that be it? Tips please!

Also eggs have been hard boiled for 4 days and were laid no longer than a week ago.

Our 2 Easter Eggers at 4 1/2 weeks. One is getting a little more color in the comb. Thoughts on gender?

Rosie is definitely a cockerel. FanFan is definitely a pullet. Blondie looks like a cockerel.

I always said, I'd never be "that" person. And, here I am. We've had chickens, but never EE's. I'm officially confussed about 2 of them. HELP! Please!

Rosie is definitely a cockerel. FanFan is definitely a pullet. Blondie looks like a cockerel.

I had pegged Rosie as a cockerel and FanFan as a pullet. I wasn't sure about Blondie. I will try to get better pictures of Blondie. He/She is my first tailless EE.

Thank you so much for helping me!
