Update on my two ee's.

[Painted Calls]

Although, maybe I'm just imagining it, it just seems a bit odd. And if I have, maybe they didn't lay and were really just slow maturing roosters.

Had to be slow maturing cockerels. It's a male specific trait. That means females cannot have it.

Also, I was looking and apparently black and white ee pullets aren't very common, and are usually cockerels, is that true?

This is Rascal, my black & white EE. She lays lovely greenish-blue eggs. Please disregard her ratchet tail feathers, she was just coming to the end of her molting period and those tail feathers were last to go, LOL


Do you have more updated pics of yours? Narrowing in on a conclusion?

Sorry for the late reply, been busier than usual this week. My two are 8 weeks now, so i’ll definitely get some more pictures later. (P.S. I love Rascal sm, she’s literally stunning, with or with out her wonky tail. )

I definitely understand busy! Crazy time of year for everyone it seems

I'm excited to see new pics of your EEs, too!

I’m gunna guess you can recognize who’s who by now, so here they are. I am now 99.9% sure chick #2 is a cockerel, based on his comb ( three rows ) and by that male trait everyone keeps mentioning on him. Chick #1 only has one row, and a lot of the round feathers. Then again they’re only 8 weeks so I don’t think the feathers matter rn. Overall I think they’re a pullet.

I think they're both cockerels

Well, if so- If you were in this situation which would you keep? If you could keep one that is.

@Rhodebar Lover
I'm trying to understand the typical male color pattern. When these three areas are all splotchier different colors doesn't mean they're a cockerel?
