Update: After acting funny all week we went ahead and attatched our nesting boxes (we went with external) and finished that up yesterday. After watching her go in and out of the coop all morning we left for some time on the lake. When we got back there was an egg in one of the nesting boxes...
I was reading something about the hackle and head coloring being different then it’s usually a cockerel, but at the same time these ees are the ones that tractor supply sells as “americanas “ so idk what they are a mixture of.
One could hope! The black and white one makes me question things because of stuff that I’ve read about coloring, but the comb is still so pale and small… I dunno. I guess I won’t know till I get an egg 😂😂
Ouuu how pretty! I think a roo, but how did they turn out?
Also, I'm trying to gender a few Easter Eggers, if anyone would like to chime in feel free. Thank you. (9 weeks old sold as pullets "Americanas" from Tractor Supply...
Looks like a pullet to me! I'm also trying to gender some 9wk old Easter Eggers/ Americanas (TS) Feel free to chime in!

Oh no! I'm sorry about Lewy! I regret not handling these youngins as much though...they see me as a predator half the time and get our 17wk old BCM roo all wound up hahaha
I'm split on it being a cockerel or a pullet because it "acts" like one, but at the same time, these younger birds have been integrated and are acting like typical bottom-of-the-pecking order types so idk! Thank you for your response!
He/She is really pretty though aren't they?! Haha
These little chickadoos are 9wks old. They were sold as pullets. I know they can be a little harder to gender than other “breeds “ mutts😂 but what are y’all’s guesses?
I’m more curious about pink and green. But there’s four of them. Pink, Green, Purple, Yellow!
There’s a lot of pictures...
