These are five weeks and a couple days old. The rooster is Ameraucana/EE. The darkest and the medium tone chicks are from blue/green eggs so they could be Ameraucana, EE or Cream Legbar. The lightest one with the yellow legs is from a pale tan egg that I think is from the Swedish Flower hen (in the middle of the group pic)
They have hit the ugly buzzard stage... and I am starting to watch for signs of roos. Any guesses based on color patterns? While they sometimes blush, I don't see major comb issues, nor differences in feet or legs. But the dark one is showing some rust color....
From L to , darkest, lightest, medium
darkest-- that rust color-- means roo?
