EE Sexing

[BLaBauve]

I got this little one from a feed store about 2 weeks ago. She was sold to me as pullet. She started out almost all blue. I learned recently that many people feel that blue EE's are always boys. Any thoughts on my chick here or if this statement is true?

Thanks!

Looks like pullet to me, but I'm not an expert! I hope some else has some more info to give you.

how old was it when you got it? Age can make a difference as well.

She was 3 days old when I got her, and now she's about 2 weeks

The comb doesnt look very developed. from the feather development so far i would say female.

That's just a silly rumour, promise. I've also heard the 'dark chipmunks are girls' and I had 6 straight-run dark chipmunks last year and guess what? 5 roos

I just got 3 blue chicks out of 8 from a hatchery; I highly doubt they messed up that many.

There's nothing about her that says roo to me

Ok good, that gives me hope! I'm glad it's a rumor. I've also heard that very light chipmunks end of roos. . .

Pullet.

Now if only I knew what color she'll end up!

Pullet - She'll be a sort of mock-silver type coloring.
