I can sex your pullets and cockerels!

[sylviethecochin]

These are a bunch of seven-week-old probably-silkie crosses with a lot of easter egger in them. Most of them have peacombs.

In other words, they're pure and distinguished mutts.

Little girl--I really hope this one's a pullet.

Baby--I'm thinking pullet?

Bruno--Boy?

Bruno again.

Brenda.

Bubba. Which in German, means "Son," so he'd better be a boy.

Billie. Hen, I think?

Big bird's either a rooster or she needs hormone therapy.

Thanks for any help!

Both about 4-5 weeks old. I think they are partridge silkies.

Would greatly appreciate some input on if our sweet Rose is actually a Ross. I began to notice how much she talked and this morning she sounded as if she was going to crow. Her comb was this developed and red when we brought her home. I also noticed small spurs developing, but our chick that just started laying eggs also has them so I feel that can't be the deciding factor.
We were told she is around 12 weeks and an Easter egger.

Hello again!
I posted a while ago on this thread and I'm back to update with more pictures of my Mocha. S/he's a easter egger who I'm hoping is a cockerel
In these pictures she is 8 weeks old.

S/he doesn't have many tail feathers but the ones s/he does have look like this.

I also read somewhere that when your sexing easter eggers, if their head and hackle feathers are different colors, they might be a rooster.

Comb pic

And here is a comb pic of her sister, who we know is a pullet (Same age as Mocha)

Big bird is definitely a cockerel. I suspect Brenda and Billie are cockerels too. The others all look like pullets, at least for now.

You think Billie's a cockerel? Really?
Humh. I need to go out and look again--I was almost sure of hen on that one.

Needing a little help here. What do you say about these. The 2 in question are the closest in the photos, Dominique and cochin bantam that are next to each other. The last one is for fun, we know he's a cockeral, he's vocal and needs a home if anyone is interested or maybe point me to the right thread but we are still confused about the 2. About 18 weeks old. Nothing vocal from the red her name is ginger she has been exploring the nest boxes, the dom is big Beatrice again nothing vocal, some squatting but the comb and waddles mange me wonder about both. Thanks in advance.
