Sexing 4(ish) week Easter Eggers?

[Clbennet3]

3 is possibly male, 4 weeks is pretty early to sex them though.

Yeah I’m hoping I can tell sooner than later. Number 3 is definitely showing the personality of a rooster based on my last batch. Not as shy and afraid. No idea if that is breed dependent or just my personal experience.

I think 1 is a pullet, 2 is a pullet, 3 is a cockerel, 4 is a pullet.

I think number 3 looks like a boy. The rest are hard to tell. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were all boys.

Ha ha, sorry! Hopefully I will be wrong. It would be easy to do.

I’m kind of in the same boat as you. I have 4 EEs, bought as pullets from Tractor Supply, about the same ages as yours. And I am getting worried about 3 of the 4!

3 and 4 look like your cockerels to me They have a lot of red in their combs for their age... my pullets (2 of which are EEs) are about to start laying, any day now and they still don’t have any red in their combs... but then again I’m new to the chicken sexing game

and I gave mealworms/oatmeal since they were about 4-5 weeks old... introduced fruits and veggies when they were closer to about 8-9

Three is possibly male. The rest look like females to me. The pattern of #3 isn’t necessarily male. I have 2 pullets with that same pattern. I’m going by leg size and comb shape (not color). It’s so much easier to sex these guys if I can see them in action. Photos are difficult.

I think they all look like cockerels to me except maybe number 1

Those combs are very large and very red for only 4 weeks old. The pattern isn’t necessarily a boy pattern BUT I thought the same with my Easter Egger, he had “female coloring” at a young age like that and not a big or red comb and he ended up being a boy and getting the red patches, etc. later on. So feather coloring that young is not necessarily an indicator of gender.

I would complain and damand a refund.
