Same ol Roo V. Pullet Game - Easter Egger Edition!

[Kalu05]

Hi friends!

We got our first chickens and started with 3 Easter Eggers and 2 Salmon Faverolles. There's one EE who we think might be a roo, but I have some conflicting guesses. The comb seems like one of the biggest hints, which got blushy and looks to be 3 rows on the pea comb.

However, the comb hasn't gotten much larger or darker. And when it comes to feathering, I'm still a little unsure. Help? These are about 7-8 weeks.

Of course, "Bock Bock" is the 4 year old's chicken! We appreciate your thoughts!

Bock Bock is at the top. Hennifer is the middle. Hildie is closest.

All are females.

Thank you for taking the time to review and comment! What did you look for to make that determination?

Female specific coloring. Male Easter eggers generally have blotchy, uneven coloring, while the girls have an even color pattern. Also, the combs are all small.
