What I thought were 2 EE pullets I think are roo's- confirm or deny?

[chickldymachias]

So my 2 easter egger girls/boys are 4.5 weeks old. I have suspected by behavior, color (black/white) and comb development, now the pinkening and prominance of comb, that I have 2 roos (pardon how disheveled the look, been enjoying watermelon). What's your expert opinion?

1st suspect EE June:





next suspect EE #2 Bella (the reddish on waddle area is watermelon)

Yep, they look like roos....comb is large and you can see the three rows. Sorry!

 

[mkcolls]

Both look like a roos to me. Coloring, yep. Comb, three rows, yep. They are beautiful.
Here is ours at 4.5 weeks



7 weeks.




At 14 weeks.


He is now almost 11 months now and I realize that I do not have an updated pic of him. I will have to correct that.
Our's is a great roo, generous with the hens, protective, and sweet.

Those are big combs. Probably roos.

Do only roos get the 3 rows and pullets just one row or do the roos just get the 3 rows earlier on?

 

[speckledhen]

Males get their raised three rows of "peas" early on and the pullets have only the raised middle ridge for quite some time, then get their full comb later.


Those are males.

Do you know when the females start to get their 3 rows in? Im only curious because I have 3 11week old EEs and one has always made me think roo and a few days ago I noticed she has 3 distinct rows.

Sorry, all are EE cockerels.
