Tikka is my favourite girl! She jumps on my shoulder and cuddles my ear. Please tell me she's not a he. Thank You!

Definitely a pullet. Pretty one too

Can anyone confirm my brown EE is a girl? She's about 5 months. Her comb has gotten pretty reddish, but everything else seems girlish.

All girls. What breed is your beautiful gray pullet?

She's a lavender EE

Such a sweet bird and definitely my favorite to look at!

Hello! Have an EE that I wanted to share with y'all. Not sure if this one is a hen or a roo...still might be a bit early to tell for sure, but I figured I'd run it by some trained eyes first.

**now that I think about it I am I'm leaning towards hen (mainly due to the lack of a developing comb), but this is my first go around with EE's so sexing them is not yet a strong suit for me.

Are you sure? Or is this a 2 cents reply. I am already emotionally vested in this bird. She has some orange feathers around the shoulders that worry me. Seen in this picture. I need reassurance.

Wondering... if an EE has iridecent feathers coming in, can that be a gender sign?

How old is the bird? Comb looks like a pullet, but a clear close straight on shot would help. That color looks more gold than rooster red.

Went back and looked. At originals. Need an age. Is the color of the comb more accurate in this pic (red) or the close up posted earlier (pale)?
