I think because shes so big also its throwing him off. I should have named her butterball because she reminds me of a round butterball turkeyI had a black australorp that had a tail that would stick up high and slightly curl over. I asked and asked about her because I was worried she was a male. She was still a pullet lol. Some times they have big tails. But all of the feathers I am seeing are rounded and look female. I don't see male hackle or saddle feathers. Sry to your hubby. He is surrounded by females
Oh I hope so. I was reading that EEs can take up to 9 months to lay. These are my first chickens so I'm anxiously waiting for that first egg.
Both are pulletsOk, got more close ups today. Now my husband is saying both Easter eggers are boys
Here they are. 12 weeks old. He keeps saying the tails are what's making him think male.
Mine took forever to lay but they both do. And they have different tail types. I’ve had an EE hen in the past that looked like yours and her tail was really tall and stood up like that too. I think there’s enough variety in this “breed” that the comb is the easiest way to tell first, and then the feathers. Larger redder comb than the others of the same “breed” and age usually says rooster. Them when they get their adult feathers it’s the pretty longer ones on the back I think they call saddle feathers that give boys away. I had one I kept calling her until I started noticing the pointed feathers. Then ‘she’ started crowing!
