3 week old true Ameraucanas! Sex guesses? Will update periodically.

[905silkies]

I brought home this bunch a week ago; they’re now 3 weeks old. Sold as true Ameraucanas but this is my first time with anything other than silkies, so!

Any guesses? Cockerel or pullet?

#1 Splash

#2 Wheaten (?)

#3 Black

#4 Lavender? Blue?

I think the black and wheaten are cockerels, and the other two are pullets. But it is still very early, so that's just a best guess for right now.

That would be my guess too. The wheaten looks to be blue or splash wheaten and the last chick is blue rather than lavender

Thanks for the insight! Based on combs alone, my guesses are the same as yours. I can only keep one boy!

The black for sure is a cockerel. Does the wheaten have a single comb?

Here’s another pic. It’s in a pretty thin straight line? This one is the biggest of them all.

And some shots of the feathering on the wheaten.

UPDATE: Hey everyone, we’re now at 6 weeks!

I’m thinking the splash and blue are pullets, black a cockerel, and blue wheaten I have ZERO clue!

You can tell their sex by looking at their wings a pullets wing has 2 steps a Cockrell has 1 also if you pick them up by the head the pullets lift their legs and the cockerel reaches for the ground
