5 week old EE, just started getting a hint of color in her comb but so has my mutt girl at the same age

Just really hoping this is a girl, already have 2 boys from this hatch and can't keep them all....

Impossible to tell that young... EEs are some of the hardest to sex til they get older

Can't tell. Still looks pulletish to me. I hope time will be your friend.

I am thinking Pullet also. My 5 week old EE's combs all look just like that and they are sexed pullets from MPC.

How does this one differ from the ones you think are roo's??

I think its a pullet.

100% sure it is a pullet, the plumage color if not anything else is a give-a-way.

The roos are real mutts, we don't have a clue on the breeds involved but they are single comb and the 2 boys were obvious after 2 or 3 weeks old.
This is the only EE I have at the moment... I really do hope it's a girl. I remember reading some where about the pea comb having 3 distinct lines if female and one distinct line if male.... I may have that backwards though.

Just out of curiosity, what plumage colors are primarily female for EE?

 

[NGT ANGL]

My uneducated guess would be pullet.

In case anyone is wondering this is a group shot of the hatch:

Top to bottom EE ?, Mutt boy, mutt girl, mutt boy
