Is Quinn a cockerel?

[GammaPoppyLilyFlutter]

Hi,

A few weeks ago I got 2 EE's from the feed store that were supposed to be females. They were vent sexed, but they are growing differently. Aspen is small with a perky tail and a tiny comb. Quinn is huge (they are from the same clutch of eggs, though), has a fanned-out tail, and has a comb that is a lot bigger than Aspen's. Quinn is also more active and a lot braver. When I got them at a week old, I wondered if the sexers were wrong because of how Quinn didn't seem so scared of being in a box and because of the size difference.

Here are some pictures:

Here they are next to each other:

They are 3 weeks old


Is Quinn... a HE?

I see two girls.

It can be super difficult to sex EEs at this age. Sometimes they just grow at different rates. I'm thinking you may have to be patient.

I want to say pullets for your sake, but it's too early. Does Quinn have a single comb?

Two definite pullets.

Yay! Now I can keep both of them! Thank you for telling me this

They are a common EE color for pullets, so I say pullets.

Lol; I would say they are hens, but on a side note---one of my sisters is named Quinn...lol.
