I've been on this forum constantly while building my first coop. Always so much info to help. I have 6 "easter eggers" and I'm still not sure how to tell their sex. They're about a 6 weeks old

... And i hate to be the bearer of not great news, but without vent sexing while theyre really young, there's really no way to tell until u can see rooster tail feathers.

With the luck I have they’ll all be roosters ‍

Not true...most breeds can be sexed at about 6 weeks by comb size/color.

I can’t figure out how to post a message to the forum. The only options I see are to start a conversation with users that I have to enter? Can someone please help the new guy?
