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

My EE looks just like chick number 1. Are the all white ones more likely to be pullets?

To the comb question, yes. You'll get colored eggs again in the offspring.


To the chick color question - Pure white, no other colors, can mean either boy or girl but is more likely a girl. If it develops red in the breast, it is a girl. If it develops black in the neck and tail, and/or especially develops yellow or red in the wings, it's a boy.

Oh dear. I just looked through all the pages, and I think I have one definite EE roo, and one possibility.

 

[Cheeky Chick]

This is Diva.

I think pullet for Diva.

Now here's Lucy

What do you think?

You got a definite and a more likely pullet up top.

Lucy definite Roo? Well, he'll go back to the breeder.

Diva does look more like a girl, but she's very pushy, maybe a dominant girl.

Yep, pushiness means nothing on gender at such a young age. In fact friendliness at least over here is often an indicator of boy.

OH NO!!! Both my BR are like puppies! I'd hate to give either one back-we're in total love with those two. My 2 BO's are rather friendly, but both the EE's are rather pushy and Lucy is downright psychotic jumpy.

Same with my experience. My boys are very friendly, even at 10 weeks old. My EE boy was always the first to come check me out when I entered the room.

You can have friendly girls too! Though out of this batch I only have one girl that is overly friendly.
