Is this a hen?

[MamieT375]

I'm new to raising chickens. This was my first bird purchase. They are Easter Eggers and are supposed to be two hens and a rooster, All about 3 1/2 months old. I'm scared they are all three roosters... and one of them is way bigger than the others, so if there is a way for y'all to age them too, I would be grateful! I apologize for the poor quality of the pictures. They are all fairly flighty.

This one is definitely a rooster. Just adding cause he's so pretty.



This is one of the "hens" I'm worried about. I've googled the mess out of sexing chickens and I've just about convinced myself she's actually a he. The feathers seem pointed to me. But she doesn't have a wattle, and also doesn't crow like the rooster.



This one also has the pointy feathers, but no wattle, and doesn't crow. She's also nearly twice the size of the other two. Should she already be laying if she is in fact a hen?

Both your easter eggers are roosters. EE's can be hard to sex, but the long rooster saddle feathers mean they are definitely roosters. They don't have wattles because EE's get very small wattles that are hidden by the beard and muffs on their face.

They are all males, and much older than 3.5 months. They are at least 5 months I'd say. Sorry, you got swindled.

Both are male. You can see the 101% confirming feathers.

Seems like you are just going off crowing and wattles. Easter Eggers don‘t always crow early, and rarely have big wattles.

You may be waiting a long time, for your roos to lay eggs.
