Sold 11 roos & kept this one - did we keep the right one? EE @ 9wks.

Here is an updated picture of Sage at 9 weeks. What do you think? Is he a roo or is she a pullet?

(Sorry for the blurry pictures. You never know what you get till you get inside.)

That's a pullet

Looks girly to me, Congrats!

One comment about the three ridges thing we need to be clear on---both sexes have those, however, the males' form very early on while the females take till close to laying age to get more than the center ridge (usually!) That's the catch with the three ridges on a pea comb. My pea combed ladies also have three(those with the proper pea comb, anyway), but they didnt get them at 6-8 weeks like most males do.

That is a very pretty pullet!

She is very beautiful!

Be expecting some green/blue eggs in a couple weeks!

Yeah! Thank you everyone. We will be excited to see what color eggs she will lay. Once before we had an EE and the eggs were just tan. Hopefully, this one will lay a pretty egg.

Thanks again.

Just want to throw an update on Sage. She is laying and lays pretty green eggs. She is one of my best layers - an egg almost every day. Yeah, for EEs that start out looking like boys but end up to be pretty and dependable. For everyone who has one that keeps them wondering -- keep the faith.
