I'm pretty sure Goose and Happy (the darker two) are pullets but I'm not sure about Bunny and Marigold. They were bought as sexed pullet chicks although I know that doesn't mean 100% certainty but I'm hoping I'm just seeing things with the feathers curling down just in front of the tail. 9.5 weeks old at this point. Thanks for your opinions.

I'm slightly concerned about Bunny because of her colors, but I still say pullet.

Marigold has partridge plumage and it looks very different in males than in females. She's a lady.

Female.

(this guy's blue instead of black partridge, but there's a pretty clear difference.)
 
I second what sylviethecochin said.... I have several partridge girl Easter eggers. Marigold is definitely a girl. Bunny is more questionable.... Red across the wings can indicate roo (or inconsistent color pattern). Additionally, I have a a beautiful roo that looked just like bunny in color when he was younger, BUT Bunny's feathers look like pullet to me... Easter eggers can be tricky! I added a picture of Lucas (the roo colored like bunny as a baby...) I had to zoom in, so the picture is bad...

So good to hear because these four are the most social chickens we've had and I really don't want to part with any of them. He looks like he is a beautiful roo by the way.
 
Thank you! He is pretty... and rotten (came close to a spa date with some carrots, and I have never culled one...), but he has come around. If he can play nicely (esp. with my kids), he can stay. I'm crazy about my silkies, but my Easter Eggers are pretty special too!

I have a question regarding if one of my Easter Egger chicks is a rooster or pullet. It is 2 months old and I’m posting pics. Thanks for any and all help
