Please help identify if these are cockerels or pullets....They are almost 12 weeks old.

The black looks like a roo to me no question. One of your blues also looks a bit like a roo but I have a heck of a time sexing EEs.

Thx, for your help

I’m guessing one blue and black are boys, leaving one last blue as female.

Thx for your help

LOL!! Yes, that blue one on the left is the one I been wondering if it could be a boy. Thx for your help.

If ever in doubt, at that age look at the drum sticks. They are huge! I sex my birds by their thighs.

I'm thinking the black one is a cockerel. I'm questioning the blue in the left side of the top picture. That one looks like it may have some pointy hackle and saddle feathers, too... Here is a picture of what to look for in their feathering:

They don't have quite those feathers but, the black one has some pointy ones on the bottom of the neck. I will keep watching them for these feathers though. Thx for your help.

Now that way of sexing them I have never heard of, very interesting. I will definitely take note of that. Thx

The bigger blue bird is in the front. The comb on it looks female though but, still probably a boy? Smaller bird in the back is female?

If legs were any indication, look at the size of the ones on the middle blue, and black EE's as compared to the smaller legs of the blue on the right! And the toes are huge on the other two birds as well!

I am not an expert by any means but I have heard you can sex them by their legs as well! I have 4 EE's and I do not have a clue as of yet if they are hens or roos! Hubby thinks one is a roo because he said he heard it trying to crow! We shall see!!

Hate to butt in but can anyone tell me if Buffy is a pullet or cockerel?

 

[Barbs Girls]

And what kind of comb does she have?

 

[sourland]

'Buffy' is a cockerel.

Not 100 % but I agree with those saying black cockerel and blue pullets. A couple of more weeks will tell the tale.
