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

Any guesses as to the sex of my two EEs?



I see girls.

This forum was a great help to me last year when I caught chicken fever. I thought I was done with my city flock of 3, but couldn't resist getting a couple of EE chicks at the feed store

They are 3.5 weeks old. Sally is feathering in a little faster in basic brown barred feathers. This one, Rosie, is feathering a little slower. I haven't seen feathers like hers on the forum. They go from bright silver to dark...very pretty. Any early ideas on sex/adult color on Rosie?

This thread has been so helpful in sexing my chicks! Here are "the Littles" now. Rosie(right), at 7 weeks, has all the signs of a roo...comb, stance, legs, slow feathering, while Sally is much more hen like. They are such a cute couple, I have found a new home for both of them so they can stay together.
 
These are Different Chicks then I posted above.
Chick 4




Chick 5




Chick 6





Chick 7

I'm thinking pullets all around, well, except #6, that red comb says roo to me, also, am I seeing three rows of peas there? I couldn't see legs on number six, are they thick? And, I believe I read somewhere a ways back on this bread that the black and white are usually Roos. In any event, beautiful, healthy looking bunch. Chicken stew, sweet story. Glad they get to stay together.

I have 6 easter eggers, 6 weeks old 4/30
#1 - Truffle

#2

#3 - excuse my finger, they don't like my phone so I was being sneaky

#4 -white and black on the left #5 on the right
I'm guessing the pastel chick is a clean faced easter egger because I can't find any breeds on Meyer hatchery site that match her. I think it is a pullet, but her comb is different than the other EEs
I'll get comb pics tomorrow after work


Those are all girls and indeed EE's.

#3 will turn out to be a beautiful and practically proper silver duckwing in color.

Illia, mine got missed at the top of page 69
could you venture a guess on these 5 babies. Proximately 5 weeks old. If you need closer pictures I will get some tomorrow.
I thought I had 3 girls and 2 boys, but today I think I may only have 1 girl, and I'm praying I'm wrong, I need pullets and these are the first 5 I ever tried hatching, I hate to think I will have to butcher 4 of them.W
Makes me so sad......... and they are so friendly and cute..awwwwwwwwwwww WHaaaaaa :hit
