Easter eggers

[PeckyPeckyHomestead]

Ok guys. I have 4 Easter Eggers and I am 99% sure that 3 of them are roos. But one is really making it hard one me. I would love some help on this one. All the other ones have bright red combs and 3 rows. She has 3 rows but no color change at all and no growth on the 3 rows in the past couple weeks (unlike the other 3). All opinions would be appreciated. S/he is around 5 weeks old. Can post pics of the brothers for comparison if needed. Thanks! (These pics are a couple weeks old but she doesn't look much different)

Too young, repost pix at 6 - 8wks. Interesting the comb is so "yellow". Some will say the "rows" go opposite, 3 rows pullet & 1 row cockerel although I believe as you do 3 rows = cockerel 1 row = pullet.

That's probably a cockerel. The reason I'm coming to this is not because of the comb, which is still pretty light, but because of those red wing bars on the shoulders. Keep an eye on it, but I'm putting my money on cockerel.

You might get lucky! This is my EE, Easter. She started out like that! She lays a lovely cream/pink egg ^_^

They love to keep us guessing up until the crow or egg

I am going to post some updates pics when I get home. There is a lot more brown now. Not little red/brown patches like in my other 3. But I have been thinking cockerel on all 4 since about 3 weeks. But am praying for 1 girl! Just 1!! Lol

Bit young yet to know for sure. Little cutie!

I personally don't put any stock in the 3 rows of peas thing. My 22 Easter Eggers (11 pullets and 11 cockerels) have been a mixed bag of 1 row and 3 rows, regardless of gender.
