EE 7 week olds Checking in for a gender check:)

Thanks , it makes my day to not have to worry to much, except for Ashley. It breaks my heart if they are roos which I can't keep. Also thanks for the abreviation definitions Zaxsbyx2 ! good question chickenlovefever! I get confused too. Will keep an eye on Ashley she is just so pretty in her coloring, I will keep my fingers crossed. Thank you

I am pretty sure Ashley is an Ashton. That red coming in is pretty roo like. You have some very pretty EE pullets for the rest of them though.

I don't know, I think Sandy could also be a boy...good thing it's an androgynous name. My friend had an EE with that feather coloring and it turned out to be a boy. I'm a little suspicious of any EE with three distinct colors and black/blue heads...plus most of them have red combs which is a bit early but not unheard of.

I hope everyone else is right.

Let us know in another month or two what you find out!

I say keep an eye on ashley also.. Here's a pic of my roo Leo at 9-10 weeks:

. He went from a rather dull grey with a little orange to a blazing burst of color in about 5 weeks.

They look to be all pullets to me also. Im still watching a couple of my chickens and hoping I have all girls

Your EE's are beautiful birds by the way!

I'm betting Ashley is a cockerel. The rest look like pullets.

Thanks for all the info. I thought these little chicks were pretty too, I think EEs are pretty cool little birds since they are all a little different in colors, I hope Sandy isn't a male and I did have questions about Ashley though still praying she/he is a pullet. About what age do EE roos start showing the red in their combs, or wattles? Leo is a pretty roo and Ashleys colors. Well, now the waiting game. I have two pretty male cochins I have to find homes for and it breaks my heart. I wish hatcheries would be more correct in thier sexing.

Leo went from that pic above at 9 weeks to looking like this at 14!

peeps here said pullet at first but those red patches got bigger and quick! he is even more roo looking now and just started practice crowing.



keep us updated when you find out for sure
