Gender and breed help

[Ol Grey Mare]

Bird shown is a pullet. Wing picture means nothing. As to the hackle feathers that are shown it is only the coloration and pattern that makes them appear pointed comment they are actually quite standard for Easter egg or poets who get very drapery looking feathering at the hackles.

I the brown 2 are Easter Eggers (often sold as Ameraucana) and they mature more slowly because they are a mix. At this point i believe they are both pullets. Usually the EEs that have that color are females. Cockerels that are EEs have orange coloring, red, or white coloring often on the chest and wings. EEs you go by coloring of the bird, not feathers so much because they are mixed breeds. The checkered one is a Plymouth Barred Rock and looks to be a Pullet also as she has only pink on the comb and no pink wattle starting ... The white one I am not sure of breed, but appears to be female. A better head shot of her would help.

I thought that Plymouth Rocks had a different kind of comb..? Like I said, I’m new to this, but have spent more time googling chickens in the last 6 weeks than I ever would have imagined!

Honestly, looking at the pictures again, they both look like pullets to me. Hopefully they are!

Regina is an Easter Egger pullet, 100% sure. That color pattern is female-specific. Look at pictures of gold duckwing male vs female and you'll see what I mean.

The other EE also appears to be female.

The one with barring appears to be a mixed breed. The funky comb looks like it's developing so I'm thinking male in spite of the single barring gene.

Could the Black EE be an EE/Plymouth BR? I have one. Here is a picture of her. (She was molting)

This chick looks like an EE Plymouth Barred Rock mix. As you can see on her face, she has puffy feathers pointed outwards. They look a bit like ear muffs. My EE Barred Rock mix has those. I am pretty sure it is a pullet. The comb is really not that red.
Here is a picture of my EE BR mix.

See her puffy cheeks?
Hope this helps!

I have several EEs with cushion combs but haven't seen any hatcheries producing barred birds. Anything is possible, though, particularly if they were using cuckoo Marans to make olive eggers. I wouldn't make any plans for Oskar until you're sure but those little spikes and the color gave me pause.

Fair enough. Coloring definitely looks like EE pullet.

I'm guessing pullet on the previously called cockeral.

I would just keep an eye out for deep red coming in on the shoulders.

That barred one in a little orehesitant on and I don't believe it is pure either.

I'm guessing all pullets too. Whenever you are in doubt, just keep doing what you're doing. If you can't decide now, within a week, or two, or three, it will become as obvious as the nose on your face. If it's still kind of hard to tell it's not against the rules yet. It's the cocka doodle doo that the rules are about, by then you'll know.
