How can you tell a boy from a girl? I have 2 in my brooder and they look like girls to me, but Im going by comb.

on this chick its the amount of darker red on his wings

Does the color apply to all EEs and does it only show through at an older age? I have 2 chicks from my EEs and I was pretty sure they were girls, but now Im doubting. They are about a month old, can that color be seen that soon?

Really? A Roo? It hardly has a comb...the lady that breeds said it was a female, but my boyfriend holding it isn't sure she's right! It's not showing any other signs either way...not being dominate or anything either....hmmm...but it's a lot bigger than our other girls!
