What do you all think of my 6 week EEs? Do I have pullets or roos?

Dianne88 - I'd like to know what the lineage behind the straight comb chick from a green egg was? Sounds interesting!




Once you get to studying color genetics alot of things make since...
Basically there are 3 colors in a chicken...White, black and red (which genetically is gold...I think??)
All the rest come from modifications to those in some way, shape or form.
Then there are pattern genes...
When you know that stuff, you can look at a bird, and kind of tell what its got in it, and then know what it will "throw"....kind of!

When you think that you have it alllll fingered out real good, you will get it eggzactry wrong!
LOL

Its not confusing at all, except that grey is black +blue so it is called blue, but blue+blue= splash, but true blue is Lavendar and gold is red, and a white bird has another color hiding underneath it, sometimes, and black edging is not lacing, and .....yeah OK!! lol

cool! I have some studying to do!

Is this EE a ROO? It was sold as a sexed Pullet, when I called about another suspposed sexed chicken I was told that Its only a 98 percent guarantee. Upon research Ive done its coloring and and tail seems to be favoring a male. Its between 7/8 weeks old.
Thanks

This is I'm guessing some recessive genes poking up their heads.

Tonight I bought six easter egger hens, and one looks like it has growth on it. I don't if it is a tumor or a boil or a birth defect. If its just a boil I was going to pop it, and spray some of that purple medicine stuff. First though I wanted to get some opinions to see what it is. Here are some pics
