Good evening everyone! Can anyone help with identifying the gender of my 3 Easter Egger chickens? I’m new to raising chickens & I’m having a hard time with deciding if they’re pullets or cockerels 😬 They’re 18 weeks old, none have crowed or attempted to crow yet.
Any help is appreciated, thank you!

So these are sex-linked traits? What makes them female coloring specific?
They are not sex-linked, no. A female specific pattern refers to the even distribution of pattern and/or color on the plumage. Males will not have even patterns over their whole body, nor will they have that light salmon breast.
