Hello. I'm new to group..I've read posts for years and just joined..I need advice on gender..and not sure of breed..he or she is about 11 weeks old .

Welcome! The grey one looks like an easter egger and female but now and then they can throw you a curve. Especially when mixed with other breeds. I have one i hatched from an asian female and an EE male. Still no idea what it is. Just waiting till it lays an egg or not. Sometimes females will crow too. :confused: but i would bet that yours in female from the feathers. The little white one is a bit harder to see feather shape on. Not sure breed either but i would guess easter egger by leg color and head shape. Others are really good at it. Im sure they will chime in quickly. ^_^
EE headshape is different?

Sometimes when they are younger the way the comb and beak sit look ever so slightly different. At least I see a difference. my boyfriend says im nuts but one of my kids agrees with me. Lol
Usually, I can tell young hens from roos, but my family thinks otherwise lol!
I think my abilities are being doubted...
 
I'd say the white one is so a pullet!
Do you have a better pic of the gray ones face?
It's dark now they sleeping I'll try tomorrow..all I know is a love bug.. :( my heart gonna be broken again if she is a he.. but based on trust .the roos trust more..
