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

[carolinasculpture]

Gene for blue shells is dominant, so easy to pass on. Are the rooster's feet okay? Looking a little rough, but hard to tell from the pic. Chicks are adorable, but too young to sex accurately, although on the last one, I think I see the telltale 3 bumpy rows so guessing cockerel on that one. Flip a coin for the others.

Thanks! That last one was the only one I could see the three rows, but I am getting older and my eyes aren’t what they used to be!
I have asked about the roo’s feet and the general consensus was that he is just old. We have had him for 4 years and they guy we got him from had no idea how long he had had him, but had thought it was at least 6 years... I have had him checked for mites and other obvious issues. Missing one spur. Best rooster ever!

Well, we ended up with 5 from the 10 eggs we put under the broody. We took pics today thinking we might be able to see from the combs which genders we have. Any thoughts?
They all have EE or EE mix moms except for #5 who’s mom is a leghorn. The first one is dad, an EE, who so far has passed on the green egg gene.
Thank you!

Way too soon to tell

I just got 5 chicks.... are their color/patterns considered partrage? They are Bantams and about 12 days old.

They are all brown, tan and black

Cute but way to young to sex.

Of course.... I was asking about coloring, not sex.

My mistake. I follow too many threads and have family company from out of state so I'm skimming (apparently too fast). This is an EE sexing thread so I ASSUMED that is what you wanted to know. Lots of people post pictures of very young EEs and ask about gender way earlier than it is possible to tell.

There is a general EE thread here:
