'Americana' Fun Gender Guessing

[SleepingBeeHomestead]

Recently got some straight run chicks from TS labeled 'Americana.' Though it would be fun to post pictures and guess what they might turn out as. Here are pictures at 3 days old and 4 weeks (sorry they didn't want to stand still for these).

I'll update every few weeks. Figured this might help someone out later. Crossing my fingers for 2 roos and 2 hens.

Nothing really screams cockerel yet!

Total guess, but I'm going with 1 - 3 are pullets and #4 is a cockerel.

4 is the one I would watch too for being a cockerel

@SleepingBeeHomestead I’ve got what I think is a cockerel Americana in MN that needs rehoming

This is Jellybean (7w)

Here is an update! 7 weeks now.

Top Left and Bottom Right are definitely smaller than the other too with not as red of combs, and tails have been slow to develop. Top Right loves to pick on everyone.

The two on top are cockerels. Bottom right is a pullet. Bottom left??? That the questionable one. I think cockerel but wait it out a bit longer because it's a close call.

I would if I could. That is a bit far for me, (southeast).

They’re the same order? I feel like my very uneducated guesses flipped. Made me feel like I should stop guessing on my little ones.

Update: Week 10
Here is an updated picture of them. They have gotten pretty big over the past few weeks.

During week 9, we started to hear some baby crowing from this guy! I moved him to our larger coop, to see if any of the others would start leading and showing signs of rooing.

Since we already have a gender ID on the top right one, I decided to share pictures of combs from the other 3. I just love the cheeks on the white one.
