GENDER HELP: Appezellen Spitzhauben - Easter Egger Grey - Black and Copper Unknown Bread

[Shores487]

Hello, I have the above listed hens that I hatched 16 weeks ago, I am trying to gender each of the 3 that I have. Please Help, they are about 16 weeks old. Thanks.

The Spitz and the Blue EE are male. Partride/Black/copper is a female.

Yup, Agreed

These are really great photos BTW. Perfect for gender ID.

Oh yeah, especially the Spitz pic, he is a definite rooster, on account of his FAB rooster tail. LOL
Good gender identification pics are mostly aimed at the comb, as roos usually have more red combs or start growing combs faster than a hen when younger. All Chickens are different though.

Agreed, thought depends on age of the birds. These birds are 16 weeks, so good saddle photos are important too.

The partridge rock (unknown breed) is the only pullet.
