Sexing Easter Eggers

[junebuggena]

This is one of my Easter eggers that I got 8 weeks ago. I have her isolated because the other chickens pecked her tail area to bleeding twice. When they were smaller I saw this one as the aggressive one who chased others. And now this is the one getting picked on. The tail is certainly a lot more straight up than the others of the same breed. I am concerned this is a cockerel. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance, as these are my first chickens. Been reading a lot on here already.

Pullet.

I hope so I am keeping her alone a few more days and will see what happens when she goes back. Thanks!

Pullets without question

Correct. The chicks are not sexed when they hatch, so its a mixed bag.

Funny story, when i went to buy chicks a couple months ago, the feedstore pointed at a bin (of what i now know are barred rocks) and said "These are straightrun", without telling me the breed. So i thought that was the name of a breed of chicken. When i went to another feedstore and they pointed at their bin of RIRs and said "These are straightrun", i was severely confused and just bought my chicks. Later i looked it up and realized that i am an idiot

Honestly this post made my day. I laughed so hard, I did something similar when I first started with chicks too. I appreciated this post!

Here are 3 of my 4 EEs at about 6 weeks. I think 2 are cockerels and one pullet? But this is my first time with chicks and from this thread I'm getting that EEs aren't the easiest to sex!

I really want this one to be a puller...she is very sweet and mellow!

This one I think pullet?

This one I think is a cockerel, like 90% sure...thoughts? Nice bird too!!

First chick is a pullet. Next two are cockerels.

Oh I hope you're right, that first chick's personality is pretty great! Though the boys are mighty handsome too...we just can't keep roos

What do you think about these birds? 10 weeks old I have one more I will post later. She would not let me get her head in a picture. The saddle feathers worry me on the third picture.
