Hens or roos? 6 weeks old

[CaswellCoop]

I’ll do my best! Male patterning on EE comes in uneven & splotchy, often with brown or red spots leaking through. Female patterns are evenly distributed and don’t have random color spots. I hope I’m explaining it right, I learned when someone helped me sex my EE pullets!

Good to know! Thank you!

I'm leaning cockerel for the BA, but if you can wait a few more weeks to be sure will be good. I'm not an expert and I only have 6 BA's, but, I do have one that developed a comb and wattles quickly and they turned red super young, I actually took "him" to the sale where thankfully a kind man informed me that "he" was going to lay eggs (he checked her pelvic bone) she's the flock boss, she is very aggressive, she always pecks me, she puffs up sideways at me, and she's even flogged me several times. I don't want to give false hope, but if you have time to be 100% sure, it's worth the short wait.

Yes we are definitely going to wait. He/she doesn't seem to be aggressive but also not super friendly. Doesn't like being held.. but the other one will let me pick her up. I haven't quite figured out who the top hen is. I think they're still trying to figure it out lol

Here's our other EE, Becky. See why I thought the other one is a rooster? Lol, they're totally different, but supposed to be the same green queen easter egger breed.

It's normal that they look different! EEs are mixes, so color and other characteristics are variable!
