What sex are these Easter Eggers?

[NewChickenMom69]

Hi everyone.. Ooh La La, The brown in the middle does look like a roo.. This breed to me is harder to tell the hens from the roo's. The picture posted above I ended up with 2 hens, the lighter brown on the left top of the feeder and the darker just left of the feeder.. I was told if they are back and white, they are sure to be a roo. I held on to mine till they started to crow. It did not take long.. they hatched the first week in September 2012 and they started in December 2nd 2012... Was an unwanted birthday present to wake up too.. Lol!
I just hatched 4 eggs of the EE's and looking at them now I believe I have only 1 hen looking at the tail feathers since on the hens they develop faster then the roos. The Black Australorps are much easier to tell the boys from the girls in my experience..
Wishing for Wings can you post a better picture..?

[COLOR=006400]Sex opinion please and thank you. My eldest chicks at 9/10 weeks old (Ameraucanas). I wanted hens, the brown one has a very roostery standing up kind of tail feather set though, so as a newbie I'm [/COLOR] wondering.

your EE is a pullet

Thanks all for the thoughts. I'm really rooting for all girls since I have a male Welsummer due in September.

Well that is a typical female color pattern. I have been told that males will never have that coloring and I have also found it to be true.

Thanks y'all. I called them Ameraucanas because that is what the sign at the sign at the feed & Grain said and that is what I ordered from MyPetChicken.com (not seen here she is almost two weeks old but looks like the older brown one). I don't intend to show, but I did want the colored eggs.

Yea, they deliberately mislead people for some reason. Easter Eggers are wonderful birds, similar to Ameraucana but not the same. Hope you get your colored eggs!

You need a better pic to be sure, but the coloring is suspicious. Does Stella have a bright red comb?

WoW! Thanks for this! I have 10 easter eggers and I think they are ALL MALES! One is still questionable, but looks identical to the orange and black one pictured above.

Trying to rehome mine on craigslist. I really do not need MORE roosters.

I got my chicks from CackleHatchery, 15 silkies, 10 easter eggers and 5 buff brahmas (brahmas were all females!) I think I have a lot more males than females.

I'm not sure if I am posting this in the proper forum/thread. This is a video I took of my chicks Saturday. They were 4-1/2 weeks old. Ever since Tiggy (winkle) started getting new feathers I've had a sneaking suspicion she is not a she. I think this video shows more than I could get in a still shot.
Tiggy is the first chick in this video, red with a black and white head. In the event that "she" is a cockerel I do have a good home lined up. I am a little bit suspicious of the really light white/apricot colored one (Lily) too because her comb is so wide. Any input would be appreciated
