I see two Easter Egger cockerels in that video.![]()
They got to get out for the first time for half an hour yesterday. I do believe the big EE is a roo, but now I am questioning on of our bantams ( not the fuzzy feet) because it wouldn't stop squawking. is that normal?

Sorry, that looks like a cockerel. (Not 100% sure so wait for other confirmation.) The hatcheries have about a 90% accuracy rate sexing just hatched chicks. The chicken guy at my feed store says the EEs seem to have more mistakes than other breeds. Spurs don't develop until about a year. The next male trait that develops (after the red comb and dark red across the wings) is usually pointed saddle feathers or crowing.
Hello! I decided to start another thread on helping all you back yard chicken farmers determine the sex of your chicken. Hello. I have a blue jersey giant. It's 2-3 months old. What do you think. Hen or roo?![]()
I know it can sometimes be super tricky to identify gender in chicks, so that's why we made this thread! No need to start your own thread, just hop on here and share a picture of your chick, making sure it's at least 4 weeks old before asking gender. Me and @Jetblack2004
are almost 100% on genders for chicks 4 weeks+.
So feel free to ask lots of questions regarding gender. We do NOT identify breeds, only gender. However, if anyone out there is good at identifying breeds, please let us know, we would love to have your help!
Thanks!
