Pullets or roos?

[eveliens]

Blk & White Serama @ 9-12 weeks in the Middle is ??? (the other two, the gold & blk serama and black D'Anver, appear to be pullets)

Mystery Breed from TSC @ 5 weeks (probably an easter egger) - Pullet? [ignore the sebright roo head at the bottom - he photobombed]

Cockerel.

I assume this is for the serama. That's what I thought. He is the wimpiest little guy ever but that comb and those wattles are awfully red. Bummer! He was supposed to be a pullet.

Where can you get sexed seramas, out of curiosity?

I got my 2 from a local breeder. Seramas are very popular in my area, so they pop up as older chicks or young pullets every so often in the summer. I asked if possible for pullets but it wasn't a guarantee. I got the D'Anvers from the same breeder. The 3 D'Anvers appear to all be pullets and the other serama is definitely a pullet. So I'd say 4/5 is pretty good. Better than the 4/5 roosters I got from TSC straight run bantams.

the mottled serama is a cockerel and the EE looks like a pullet (but this might change)

Mottled Serema and Easter Egger Bantam are both definitely cockerels

Yeah, the EE is pretty young. My sebright roos are 5 weeks and you can 100% tell they are roos. I was hoping pullet due to the lack of wattles and the peach comb but... the law of straight run might not be in my favor.

Oh dear, I hope not on the EE. EE roos are a dime a dozen around here and it'd be hard to find a home if that's the case.


Just out of curiosity, for people familiar with EEs and EE bantams, is there a size between bantam and standard? This little one is about the size of a silkie, so bigger than my other bantams (serama, D'Anver, sebright, oegb), but nowhere near the size of a full sized bird of the same age.

I sadly can guarantee he is a cockerel. His comb is large and red for his age. A female's would essentially be nonexistent. Yes, there will be a size difference between bantam and large fowl Easter Eggers. Being a bantam is essentially a form of dwarfism so along with being smaller they'll also have traits like larger eyes compared to head size!
