Head says girl but the butt says boy. What wins?

Gorgeous girls you have!

Thanks!

Does the black one have feathered feet? Could it be a Marans or Langshan? The grey one does look like an EE pullet as the others said!

She has feathers down the outside of her legs.

Saddle feathers indicate female

What are saddle feathers?

What are saddle feathers?

Saddle feathers are at the base of a chicken's tail. Males have long pointy ones and female have short rounded ones.

If you got her from a feed store, she might be a midnight Majesty Marans

The hatcheries were pretty much sold out of everything very early spring this year so I had to get my chicks from backyard breeders.

I purchased 4 day old chicks in May that were supposed to be EE but turned out they were not. I have no idea what they are. Two have since proven to be cockerels. They are now 14 weeks old. I am hoping the last 2 are pullets. The black one has me confused. It has very little comb or wattle compared to the cockerels but then she(he) sprouted a long tail feather. The grey bird I am pretty sure is a pullet, please tell me I am right.

Here are the pictures of the black chick.

Does your black one have any Brahma or Cochin in her? Here is a picture of my Brochin Bantam

your girls face looksvery similar to mine. They obviously aren’t the exact same breed cause 1. Yours doesn’t appear to be a Bantam 2. Other than the feathered feet and the face nothing else is similar. I wish I had a better picture to show how similair their faces are but my chickens are sleeping right now so I can’t go get a picture

They look like pullets. EEs can have really wonky tails.

x2 My EE has a very strange tail.
