Help Male or female?

[Stephanie L]

Hi I am new to having chickens and I recently purchased four from a friend. She had too many and I took two Easter Eggars, one Polish, and one silky. I believe the one Easter Egger is a hen but I'm concerned that the black one and the Polish one are roosters. The silky I believe is a hen..... but I'm not 100% convinced of anything. I am brand-new to owning chickens, And have been learning over the past week. If anyone can help me with the gender of these I would greatly appreciate it. They are 9 weeks old.

Is your friend a new chicken owner too?
You would think they she wouldn't possible see you all boy huh?
That would not be nice, but I too see boys.
(I am not sure about the silkie though)

Welcome to chickens and BYC!

Silkies are very difficult to sex before 4-5 mos. of age. If you want a wild guess I would say it's a cockerel.

How can you tell that the Easter Eggers are male?

How can you tell that the Easter Eggers are male?

Their combs first, they have plump, red, three rowed pea combs which for EEs means cockerels. If you would like to take pictures of them standing by themselves we could tell you definitely by the shape of their bodies.
