Sexing Easter Eggers

[Kidwantschickens]

The wyandotte, would that be the one on the right in the first picture? Had that on the shortlist along with Easter Egger for their possible breed. I'm extraordinarily unlearned thus far when it comes to these things, so I appreciate the help. If I may ask, what makes you think pullet?

The first one could be a golden laced wyandotte, I'm not 100% sold on that but others would be more familiar. The second one doesn't look like an EE to me either. They usually have fluffy cheeks. I've seen that pattern before but I'm struggling to place it with any confidence. Someone else may know. I'm no expert!

11 Week old EE chickens.

Pecker (Rooster? - pretty sure this is a rooster, but we're first time chicken owners)

Fuzzbucket - We think is a hen? This is the flightest of our EE

Dodo - also a hen?

Dodo #2 as they were very similar coloring and personality when chicks. Cross beak is pretty bad now, but chicken seems to be doing fine on it's own.

Brownie

Any thoughts?

Fuzzbucket, Dodo #2, and Brownie are pullets. Pecker is definitely a cockerel. Can you get better pics of Dodo's saddle area?

Ooh that means I’m getting good! I was thinking the exact same thing in my head but not confident enough to post it!

Best picture I have right now of Dodo's saddle feathers. I'll have to take a new one if this doesn't help.

I think I'm seeing male specific saddles coming in. Post updated pics of this Dodo in 2 weeks.

I agree and think Dodo is a cockerel

Got these two from a bin of assorted straight runs at the feed store. Not sure on the breed, but having spent the past week browsing all 68 pages of this thread, I'm think they're Easter Eggers. I don't know anything though, so more experienced eyes would be greatly appreciated.

They're just about two weeks old, so I know it's really too early to tell on the sex, but I'd love some insight on what to be on the look out for. From what I've gleaned, boys combs will pink up around two months and their patterns tend to be less even with maybe splashes of red, where as girls' combs go red around five months and their patterns are more even and their feathers more rounded. Am I doing this right so far?

This comb seems suspect. Is this sort of development unusual for two weeks old?

Too young to sex but breed wise you either have a Black Laced Red or Gold Laced Wyandotte and a Sicilian Buttercup

Certainly wasn't expecting anything as obscure as a Buttercup. But that would explain her distinct comb, and the more and more I look at pictures the more right that seems. Thank you so much!

You're welcome! Best of luck!
