Okay so I know you can tell easter egger males from females by the 3 rows in there combs, my chicks are 2 weeks old and there combs grew quickly I can see the 3 rows in the males and I see the single rows in the femalesit surprised me how fast the comb grew in the males well I'm thinking there males, I researched a bit and found out that females usually grow there feathers quicker then males the ones that I'm guessing are males are more feathered out then the ones that I think are females is it to soon to tell?

It is a little early - don't start getting rid of any for a bit.

Welcome to BYC!

We're glad to have you.

It is too soon to tell for sure. But your are correct, pea combed birds with three rows on the comb are almost certainly males. Though slow feathering sometimes indicates a male, it isn't accurate all the time. Many breeds feather slowly naturally. Females can take a long time to feather as well. I'd pay more attention to the comb rows than to the rate of feathering when guessing gender at an early age.

I agree with Sourland, give them a little more time before making any decisions.
