help sexing easter eggers.

got my three chicks from a local farm supply shop on Feb. 14. We are sure that one is a roo and the other 2 are hens but wanted a second opinion. they are ~7-8 weeks.
if the pictures are too bad or different angle is needed I will get just let me know.
Pretty sure this one is a hen.

Not sure about this one but thinking hen (and hoping)

pretty sure this one is a roo.

I'd agree with your assessment!

I'm actually leaning toward all pullets. The last one looks like she's a Crested Cream Legbar mix and those are known to have larger combs. It looks like a pale pink so as of right now I would say female.

All three look like pullets to me as well

 

[LaFleche]

All look like cute pullets to me.

mmm... ok. what should I watch for in the coming weeks. And thanks for responding

First one has a female specific color patter so she is almost certainly a pullet, the second I'm thinking pullet as well and the third I'd keep an eye on, that one could go either way imo

A pullets comb will turn bright red when she's close to laying eggs (anywhere from 16 weeks to 34 weeks. It can vary widely). A cockerel will turn red well before that as they typically mature faster.

As they get older, cockerels will develop pointy/ shiny hackle and saddle feathers. Female feathers will remain rounded. Also, with Easter Eggers, cockerels will often develop splotchy coloring- reddish shoulders.
