    Ameraucana and RIR gender.

    We are new chicken owners, just got our first chicks about 4 weeks ago and they were about 4 weeks old then. We got 2 Black Sex Links, 3 Ameraucanas, and 1 RIR. One of the Ameraucana and the RIR are starting to look like roosters, what do you guys think? Thanks, James, Dawn and Casey.
