Sexing EE's -- 2 that I'm torn on- male or female?

[Shyde1982]

So these two don't have large red combs like the ones I'm sure are roo's. They're about 9 weeks now. I would LOVE it if these two were hens.


#1

This one has kind of an orange-ish comb, small wattles forming, and I know there is brown on the wings, but MAN if she were a she, I'd be happy!!!


Same one, below



#2) Darker one who I would love to keep. Smaller comb, not red like the ones I know are cockerels.


Again, same #2 below. There are two probably cockerels behind this one and then one of my RIR girls.




If I'm not 100% sure about certain ones, should I just hang onto the til' I'm sure? I've got an appt at the processor Tuesday to process the roo's for raw dog food, but I am only 100% sure about 2 of them being roos!!!

1st one I'm suspicious that s/he could be male because s/he looks like it has sickle feathers. #2 I'm leaning to pullet.

Both are males. The bright red splotches on the shoulders don't exist on pullets. They'll both be gorgeous boys when they're older.

#1 boy, #2 suspected boy.

 

[Shyde1982]

If they're boys they're heading to the processor in a few days. I'm in the city, can't have roo's. Have tried craigslist. not getting much luck.

I wish I could take them from you. They're so pretty

Definitely both boys. Only roos have the dark red patches like that.
