Ok everyone this is the last one i am not sure about any thoughts roo or pullet. They are 8 weekish

I was going to say pullet, but then I noticed the super thick legs in that last photo! cockeral, sorry!

I have read this whole thread and man do My Eyes hurt now, I have three that I am unsure of, IF any one would like to take a guess I have a thread started here.

yeah, it's a tough one! I think they are all pullets. The brown one MAY be a cockeral but look at their legs, are they all the same size? No tell tale dark red on the other two. That one that is more white sure is going to be pretty!

Ill have to look at there legs and compare them I can't remember off the top of my head if there close in size or not I am hoping all pullets please be so. There are more pic's in my other thread if you would like to check it out and comment. People are all over about the sex of my EE'S.

The upper right chick - guessing pullet.
Is she clean faced? I have a clean faced chick that I'm guessing is an EE and hoping pullet because I love her

Sorry I am a newb. What is clean faced?

 

[Teva]

clean faced means no muff/beard that is typical of the EE.

Thanks - This means I have 3 girls !!!!! I want to put them with one of my BC Maran roos when they are older. So happy (Now gotta check my SLW - I think I have 3 males and 1 female)

Hi Joe, I checked out the other thread and I noticed that Illia commented - and she is the local expert on sexing EEs. I would go with what she recommends and wait a couple of more weeks, and post again. Also, what do the feathers look like at the base of the tail on the red one? The ones that fall to each side of the tail. Are they pointed or are they rounded, like a baby carrot? Pointed=roo, rounded=pullet. HTH!
