Sexing Easter Egger chicks

[ivyleechick]

I purchased three EE pullets, but I am questioning whether two of them are actually females. I'm pretty sure Dusty is a girl, but I am really questioning whether Brownie is or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

One in the last photos looks male; the green tail feathers are usually a male trait, unless it's in a breed that gets that type feathers; australorp for example. Not to mention the comb.

First 2 pictures are a pullet, the others are of a cockerel.

I was thinking that the colored tail feathers might be a sign of a male, but then my RIR pullet started to have some colored tail feathers too, so I thought there might still be a chance for Brownie to be a pullet.

Not with that comb and darker red patches in the shoulders.

So now I'm starting to question whether Tater tot, my RIR, is a pullet or not. Any thoughts? All of the chicks are 7 weeks old.

Tator Tot looks like a pullet to me.

Great to hear! I was starting to get worried because of seeing the iridescent tail feathers.

The last bird is a clear male.

After my last batch of 14 hatchery chicks contained 7 cockerels (two intentional) I’m purchasing chicks from the local feed store to up the ratio so I can keep three cockerels.
any ideas about these five four-week old Easter Eggers? (They’ll get names when they’re old enough to know they’re pullets!!)
