I bought fertile hatching eggs, all green or blue eggs. While a few chicks look like EE some don't at all...any guesses?
Also, I have her hens sprout tail feathers sooner then roos...if so I think.I am 50/50.
Anyone know how reliable this is?
Posting pictures...hard to get them to stand still.

There’s no standard for easter eggers as they aren’t a pure breed, so they’re not going to look all alike, especially backyard bred coloured egg layers. Tail feather sexing would be unreliable with these, it only works on certain breeds/strains/crosses. You’ll have to wait about 2 months to sex them.

That grey and white chick is gorgeous :love
