EE Roos or Hens?

[mj_n_peeps]

11 weeks ago I hatched some EE chicks. One started to crow a few weeks ago so I sent him on his way along with a playmate. I have these two left, both green legged. I'd love to keep the cream colored one, but only if I can identify it's a SHE and not a HE. Can any one shed some light on them?

My gut tells me roos, becuase of they way the stand, hold their tails and there is no evidence of saddle feathers. And the cream one's pea comb is already pink.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed.....

Both look like hens to me!

I think they're both girls.

Both pullets. Sometimes white and lighter colored pullets have pinker combs. As well, EEs can carry their tails any which way, I've found. Only saddle feathers and hackle feathers really determine gender with most EEs (aside from the peacomb, that is).

I agree with the above...they both look like girls to me.

Both girls. I don't think I've seen a solid white ee roo, they usually have splashes of color. And the brown one is a girl.

We have three EE's and a black Ameruacana, and based on that I'd say both your birds in the pics look like pullets. The tail feathers on the second one make me a little nervous, being curved and looking (in that pic at least) a little pointed. But I'd still say pullet. Our last batch of EE's we got four ROOs and they all had really curved tail feathers and all were crowing around 12 weeks.

I'm 100% certain those are both pullets! The white one has a definite pullet tail, the second one has pullet coloring (not shiny, solid patches) and a very girly comb.

Thank you all so much for your responses! I'm very much relieved to get such a strong confirmation of pullet vrs roo! With that they will stay on as part of my chicken family!! And with the greenish legs I may just get something other than brown eggs... fingers crossed!

Thank you again!!!
