All three are EE, Pretty sure #2 is a roo and maybe all three.... got pics of the face so we can see the combs. The red on the wings is a roo thing and the 3rd one has some red. The first one I think is a hen or pullet but just can't tell.

Also, along with the face pictures, how old are they.

You have 3 very pretty Easter Egger roosters there.

Edited to add...

5-6 months old? Hmmm, maybe #3 is female?

Thanks, I looked today in the sun & he has orange with gold highlights so you are correct it is not the pic.

So, does this make him an EE & not an Ameraucana? IMO, either way he is a handsome devil
