Pullets or cockerels?

[MillietheHen]

I have 8 Easter Eggers that are 6 weeks old. I know it’s still a bit early to tell what sex they are but I’d love to hear your opinions. I’m worried that I have quite a few cockerels

2,3,6,7 I think are girls

I think 2,3, and 6 are the only girls...

1, 4, 5, 7, 8 are looking like boys. 3 is a little questionable, too.

If I were you, I would wait a bit, at least 2 more weeks, and re-evaluate at that time. Right now some of them are a little in between.

That’s what I was thinking as well. I’m still holding out hope for the others but those are the only ones I feel good about.

Too early, but there are definitely some likely cockerels (1,5,7,8 all have a nice red colour already)!

Oh boy! That’d be a lot of boys! I’ll give them some more time though. I haven’t had this many EEs in awhile and they always confuse me.

Did you get them from a hatchery or TSC? If so, you might be able to get some type of compensation for all those boys. Unless you bought straight run.

Ok. I’ll post updated pictures in two weeks but I figured I might as well get an idea of what I have. With all that red I’m thinking I’ll end up with a bunch of cockerels
