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

[gmiller0789]

7 week old Easter egger. Was really hoping for a pullet but I think she might be a he. She was a sexed chick from Meyer hatchery. Still very little pink on her comb and no waddle development but i think her feathering is suspicious.. Ideas??

Yup the brown/red splotches popping through make me say cockerel.

I agree, one of Meyer's "oops". I've gotten only one cockerel (out of 32) from them. Don't know if you can/want to keep him but Meyer is good about refunding full price on a mis-sexed chick.

The hackles look pointy but the saddle are female, the hackles might look pointy because they are laced. Doesn't have roo coloring.

Age? Looks like a pullet to me. I have an EE with similarly pointed hackle feathers.
