I have several Easter Eggers and the two I am considering keeping I want to make sure of sex.

The first is"Jane" who I hope isn't Tarzan, because he/she is very friendly.

Aw, sorry about all the boys. I have 7 EE chicks right now. They are 5 weeks old and I definitely have at least 5 boys, probably 6. With my luck they will all turn out to be boys too! It's too bad cause some of them are really beautiful. This is the one I am not sure about but I think it's a cockerel: Natural light makes it easier to see color- but at 5 weeks they shouldn't have and pink in the comb- but they do blush pink when you handle them so look when they are calm. Also consistent, not splotches of color and red shoulder patches are things to look for. Junebugga has correctly sexed all mine! I have 3 EE girls now and one had some pretty masculine traits.
 
I'm sorry but "Jane" is a "Tarzan." The three rows of peas in his comb are screaming male. Sorry. :eek:( The good news is the unnamed one has only a single row of peas in the comb and is a female.
