[Megs]

on second look id say maybe the last is also a girl (2nd GJ), really a bit young to tell, in a few weeks id re-post with new pics.

If it helps any... for Gretchen, she looks like my Seven at the same age:

Seven is now 24 weeks and about ready to start laying, she's turned red and started squatting this week, the silkie roo she's with has been courting her a heck of a lot this week though she hasn't 'accepted' when I've been out there. She does have thicker legs and slightly curved tail feathers but she is a she.

The other 2 EE's look like girls to me too...

For the giants, don't know but the first one looks boyish to me

We had 2 Black Jersey Giant "pullets", and one turned out to be a roo. They looked about the same at that age, but then one of them grew more quickly (the roo) and is now the size of a small dinosaur. They take much longer to mature than EEs. Keep an eye on the combs and wattles, also size and upright posture, and you should know in about 2 weeks!

I think Niquita and Bernie are your best bets for roos. The rest look girly to me, although a couple of them do have thick legs. But it's so hard to tell on EE's this early.

I am praying so hard right now that Bernie isn't a rooster. My mom won't let us keep a JG roo because they are so big (although I agree with this too). We have a couple of small birds (Fayoumis and a Hamburg)that might get hurt from such a big bird.

Just an update. Gretchen's face is a little more red than the others'. (I just noticed this today) Niquita acts the most like a boy, and I am still praying that Bernie isn't a boy.

Hi MikasGirl!

So I finally looked at your post, and before I read the other posts here, I saw Nikita's pics and thought "uh-oh", She looks like Mik when he was a baby!!! Ach! Please please please please let us have only one roo

 

[HorseFeathers]

Hmm... looking at those pictures I'd say it's too early to tell but none look particularly rooish to me. Newer pics would be good though.

Good luck!

When you look at your EE's Combs from the front, do you see 1 bump or does it look like there are 3 bumps. That is how I tell. I can not really see your bird's combs real well. I mark the chicks I think are boys and so far I am donig pretty good with my gueses.
