Easter Eggers 4wks Sex?

[thelittlewhitecoop]

I have 4 EE’s that are 4+ weeks old. I was wondering if anyone is able to tell if they are pullets/roosters. I’ve read before that if EE’s have any sort of pattern on their wings, it’s a pullet - can anyone confirm that? None of their combs are showing any signs of redness (I know it’s kind of early). Thank you so much!

I think they are all pullets.

I think they are all pullets.

I’m really hoping so. I ordered 4 EE’s and 4 Black Australorps and my Australorps turned out to be Barred Rocks...and I think two out of the 4 are roosters.

At this point they all look like pullets to me. EE's can be slow to mature and so sometimes it takes a while to be sure. I have a pullet this year that I thought 'might' turn out to be a cockerel, but ended up being a pullet. I had one a couple of years ago that I was sure was a cockerel, turned out to be a pullet again. Once they get a little older if they develop a red wing bar or shoulder then that means cockerel. But my pullet had faint red shoulders at first and then lost them. So the mixes can fool you sometimes. The barred rocks are usually much easier to tell, much earlier. I've had EE's that were really close to point of lay before I could tell, and sometimes you have to wait and see if you get an egg before you can be sure.

#4 is questionable to me, but maybe they all are Pullets.
But "Roos need love too"

I ordered from Cackle. I contacted them and they offered me a refund for the “Australorps”.
