Here are the pics of my easter egger..





The rust is hard to see right now because its coming in st the shoulder blade almost underneath her wings and on the back a bit.. pretty sure she is a he..

At 5 weeks old, that comb is already showing a hint of pink. Probably a cockerel, the red just confirms it.

Thanks that's what I was thinking. Right after I took the pics I was like wow the comb looks pretty pink lol. You know how it is when they are your own though. Thanks again for confirming my suspicions.

I'm sorry to be such a pain, but here are my three again. See any cockerel-ness?

This is Stella, a chipmunk EE.

This is Gertrude, an Australorp

This is Sioux, an Iowa Blue. All just over 6 weeks.

Anybody? Do I still need better pictures or later pictures? All their feathers seem nice and round and their combs seem pale to me. But what do I know?!

The 2 bottom ones look like they could be cockerels but I would give it some time. The top one may be also but I'm no good at sexing easter eggers. You won't see saddle or hackle feathers this early...

I believe Stella to be pullet I have a twin of her uncertain of the lower two

What makes you think the black ones might be roos? Just curious.

Thanks for all the help with my Roo identification a while back. Now we have this one in question

Cockerel. The white bars are too wide for a female, and you can clearly see male saddle feathers growing in.

No all 3 of my favorites are...

Thank You

The comb. If they get red in the comb before 10 weeks they are almost always roosters unfortunately. I've found this out the hard way. Easter eggers are harder to sex due to their.comb being so small.. I'll post a picture of my 6 week old roo..
