Eight weeks ago, we bought a trio of EE chicks from a TSC bin labels "Ameraucanas - Straight Run." Well, we figured they were Easter Eggers. What we didn't figure was their gender. There's been lots of posturing, neck-biting, back-climbing, and other antics in our big brooder these past few days, and while I know that there's position jockeying between males, between females, and between males and females, these three are not acting the way we were thinking they'd act. Usually, #2 does the little face-off dances with another one of our chicks, while #1 and #3 face off against each other. As of yesterday, #2 has been chasing after #3, trying to climb #3's back and nip at #3's neck. #3 tries to run and hide, while #2 tries to not watch. #2 also recently chased around a re-introduced pullet after she'd been gone a week to solve her picking issues.
I'd appreciate your input as to which of these are roos and which are girls. Thanks!
#1 - Eggbert (named by our 7 year old)
#2 - Blazekin (named by our 18 year old)
#3 - Barbra (named by me)
Edited because I put Blaze's picture up twice instead of Barbra's.
