Help sexing easter eggers 11 weeks old

[Abold87]

We have 12 easter egger chickens we bought in a two day span. The first employee said they were all females. The following day the employee said straight run. So we are unsure what we have. Took some photos tonight, they are 11 weeks old and im hoping i can get some much needed insight on which ones may be pullets or cockreals. Hoping for hens. I've numbered each if that makes it easier.

Based on their combs, all appear to be pullets. However, we really need pictures of their whole bodies, from the side if possible. Sometimes the EE boys can have a slightly girly comb or it can be hard to see, but the feathers around their tails will usually give them away.

agree, when sexing chickens i usually look at the saddle feathers and the combs.

Thanks. I will try to post more photos in the morning

Thank you! I really appreciate how you got several pictures of each bird from different angles, and classified which bird was which. It makes our job much easier!

At 11 weeks, these guys are slightly too young for male saddle feathers, unless there was an early bloomer, which we don't seem to have here.


OP, I agree, more pics, full body shots, and in natural lighting please. The darkness hides some of the details also.

Took all New photos with new numbers as that was easier. So the numbers wont match the first set.Also realized i had more easter eggers than i had thought. Apparently thr dark didnt help.

No way these were 12 straight run (at least according to the luck most of us seem to have) so I think the first employee had the story right. Mostly pullets for sure. Watch the one with the red coloration on its wings/shoulders - if that red gets more prominent and patchy, it almost always means EE cockerel.

Which one are you speacking about to watch the red. Thank you for your insight.
