EE Chicks Hen or Roo?

[itsjustlex41]

I bought these cuties two weeks ago. I got them out of the Ameraucana box. I was wondering if there are any guesses on sex and coloring when they get older?

Thank you

Thank you

they look like ameraucanas but as far as the sex unless they are sexed at a day or two old its almost impossible until they get older and the colors vary greatly if they are EE instead of amers they can be anycolor but the amers are usually greyish with hints of tans and browns and black

They are EE, but to early to tell the sex!

Thank you both. They are flighty and bumping chests n such. I think females do that as well it's kinda funny to watch . They both have tail feathers growing pretty fast. Just can't tell yet what's what!

Mine looked like the one on the bottom when he was small, he turned out to be a roo. (the one on the left)

Awee. Do you have a picture of him now?

Dont worry yours are still young. Once you see rusty brown spots on his wings you can be more sure its a roo.
On the right an EE rooster someone from BYC posted with those spots.

More often than not the whitish EE's turn out to be roos. In another 6 weeks or so you will be able to tell more accurately what sex they are. If your birds came from a feed store then they are most likely from a hatchery. The majority of hatcheries sell their Easter Eggers as Ameraucanas. They are very pretty.

Thank you..I think they are beautiful! I would love to have a EE roo! There is a noticable difference in their wings and tails...one is feathering fast...the other slow.We will see =)
