easter eggers can be hard to tell. look at their legs, the ones with the larger diameter will be cockerels the smaller ones pullets. larger combs and wattles normally mean cockerels, but easter eggers are a mixed variety and can have mutated combs throwing it off a little.

Chick 1I'm going to say cockerel based on comb size/redness, although the color pattern is pullety.


Chick2Is the red in this photo a peck wound, or the natural color of the comb? If the latter, then I'd say cockerel. Though once again, the coloring is like that of many pullets.


Chick3A clearer, less washed out photo would help. But I'm going to say pullet for now.


Chick 4
Probably a pullet.

Thanks for your help!

I'd post new photos once the chicks are 10-12 weeks of age.

Yeah....pretty hard to tell with any chickens of this age, especially EEs...may be a waiting game.

I have three Easter Eggers, and I found them to be the hardest to sex. I wasn't completely positive of their gender until they were about four months old. But even then I was still a little iffy. I couldn't relax until they all started laying! But, after must research, I have a better idea of the difference. "The coloring" doesn't really have anything to do with it. I have a black and white EE hen, that everyone said was a roo because of its coloring. All yours seem to have pretty large combs for their age, but I would guess that the first three are cockerels. Although, can you get a better comb shot of the third one, because the lighting makes it hard to tell.

Chick 1 The coloring looks like a pullet's so I would say girl for now, but the comb is a bit big.


Chick2Rooster because of the comb redness.


Chick3Pullet for now, the coloring looks like a pullet's.


Chick 4Pullet.


Thanks for your help!

I would suggest posting pictures again when they are older, EEs can be hard to sex sometimes. Also
