I think you've sexed your chickens correctly.

Me too, I've never seen a chocolate easter egger before. Hmm........seems like that should be a marketing tag line somehow? Anyway, she's very pretty.

Thank you for the reassurance. The only one that still worries me is Gertrude and that's because of her odd comb. When she was very young, the comb was WIDE compared to the others and had tiny bumps in a straight line and then two curved side lines while the two more obvious pullets had nothing but a flat spot. After reading on here, I thought for certain she was a cockerel. But, it hasn't grown while the rest of her has so it no longer looks quite as wide (although it still doesn't look like any of the others).

And wrong suspect, obviously. Clark had only the central line for the first few weeks but with well-defined peas so it looked a bit different also. It wasn't until his comb changed color that the outer ridges started to show at all but then his tail feathers started to curl and brick red splotches appeared on his back around that same time. He's looking very boyish now. I'm hopeful that he'll be a nice guy so we can keep him around.
