Can yall help me with these 8.5/9 week old EEs? I am pretty sure I have them correct but what do yall think? a good friend is giving me some birds in exchange for hatching eggs from my ducks..Tomorrow! I am picking out the 6 that i am getting. I want to add another cockrell to my flock. My 2nd Rooster just passed last week. Plus some hens. I have 3 EE Hens the same age. That way this group will add in together.
she has been raising chickens for 20 years but said she still hasn't learned how to tell between EEs until they are older. She sent me these pics so this is all i have.
Just need 2nd opinion/ confirmation. 😄
Whatcha think?
1st 2 pics is a cockrel? Same bird
3rd and 4th Pullet? Same bird
5-7th pulled? Same bird

Idk. I kind of go back and forth but then I think about my birds that I havr had in the past and now. The last pictures I "know" they are pullets..98%. Lol

Not positve about Bird #1, but the rest appear to be pullets. #1 coud be a cockerel and your breeder is right: EE do tend to be a bit tricky sometimes until a little later.
