What gender are these?

[Lily97]

Hi, I'm not sure what genders these are. Please help!

This is Lily/Leo
She/he is an 8-week old chick. We aren't sure about the gender because it has the long tail feathers but no comb.
(I think if you click on the pictures they get larger)

This is Fro
She/he is also an 8-week old chick. I think it might have hackle feathers.

This is Eleanor
She/he is a 8-week old chick. I think this one is a girl but I would like some more opinions.

This is all of them





Any feedback is greatly appreciated!!

I'm thinking Fro isa boy... and I can't tell for sure... But does Lili/Leo have red/rusty plumage coming in? If so, it's a rooster. I think you're correct on Elanor. GOodluck, hopefully more people can help decide more.

I'd have to guess that Leo and Fro are roos. The other one, Eleanor looks like a pullet.

1st and 2nd are cockerels....do keep in mind that black and white ee's are very hard to sex and so are the solid white ee's for future reference

Some visual aids to show you that cocks have the rusty plumage like yours.
For example: This EE is a rooster because


of the rusty feathers coming in.



This leghorn mix is a rooster.... etc...

not all cockerels have a rusty color and im confused as to what this post is in reference to...

I know. I'm saying, these sort of rusty colors coming in, indicate they are roosters. Just trying to have some visual aids... sorry.

Lily/Leo doesn't have any rusty feathers and we acually had another EE chick that looked just like her when they were chicks and the other one has rusty colored feathers. Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Fro is on the Buy-Sell-Trade forum if anybody wants him!
