Sexing Easter Eggers

[kylie329]

I got these chickens from the feed store sometime around the beginning of April. They are supposed to all be female Easter Eggers, however the closest breed I can find to their coats is Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas.

They all pretty much have the same temperament, skittish and stick together. Their shading varies very slightly, some are a little darker than others, but overall they have the same feather pattern. I feel like if they were males they would look completely different.

Can anyone tell me if these are all pullets and what breed they are?

They are easter eggers. Easter eggers aren't a real breed, so they can look like anything. They're about four months old, right? If so, they look like pullets to me.

Looks like you have all Easter Egger pullets!

They are lovely Easter Eggers.

It would be unusual to find Ameraucanas at a feed store. Ameraucanas have a SOP (Standard of Perfection) , should breed true and can be shown. They cost much more than Easter Eggers and are normally bought from breeders.


I would ask the feed store where the chicks came from.
