Sexing EEs.

[Countrypunk92]

I heard you can sex an EE by the "Eyeliner"?

Sure, and you'd be right about 50% of the time.

I've heard a number of suggestions of ways to "know" but I don't think any of them are proved reliable (and certainly nowhere near as reliable as a professional chicken sexer!)

What he said. Although that is about how well some people do when they say their "Experts".

There are markers and signs at about the 4 to 5 week mark, but only time will give you the 100% certainty. Especially with EEs.

Exactly.

Certain breeds can be fairly accurately sexed at hatch, but it's not 100% - but not EE's, they are crosses, so you never know what you're going to get.
