The EE braggers thread!!!

I have read on here that when it comes to pea combs, the boys develop 3 rows of "peas" whereas the girls only have 1.

Actually both sexes have three rows of peas, the pullets just don't show as well. Males (Combs) tend to be bigger and more distinct.

Can we post videos??? My 8 week old EE Bantam, Nugget found his "crower" and of course me being the proud momma, I videoed him. I'd love to share with y'all.

Okay, this is supposed to be a pullet, and looks the same as the other pullets except for no tail yet. I know they can be anything, and I wonder if it's from the Ameracana background or if it's possibly a roo. Oh, almost 6 weeks.

I would say cockerel.

thinking pullet at this time



Fearless ^ Still thinking pullet-zero comb growth




Thinking possibly rooster, but no red in comb at all





Pretty sure this guy is a roo, starting to get curling tail feathers, and an awesome black beard
some redness starting in comb

Not everyone, but here's a few I was able to snag some updated photos on.

That black in the breast of fearless screams cockerel IMO.

 

[Tappy4me]

That's what I had read too, but so far he/she has no other roo characteristics.

My boys. 8-weeks just starting to crow and all with muffs and beards.

12-weeks this is Cricket my first chicken. Love him!!

Yep I currently have four roosters and no future eggs in sight...

This is my 1 year old EE Roo "Legs"

This is Cinnamon and her chick. She disappeared weeks ago, and came back with a present! Legs is our only Roo, so he must be daddy.

This is Freckles. I have two of her eggs in the incubator now. These are the Only two eggs from her we have ever found. I wish I knew where she is hiding them all!
