Time for 9 week pics! Please feel free to jump in with opinions! Again, I don't have everyone in here and might have a double on some of the black Ameraucanas and just can't tell lol
Ameraucana
This one I'm still convinced is a girl. SS/RSL
Non NN mix - boy
BCM - girl
Ameraucana...
Ready for week 8? I didn't get everyone, again. We actually had a bird of prey of some sort making random fly overs so I was a little distracted.
Non NN roo
SS/RSL roo
SS/Dark Cornish pullet?? Maybe?
Mottled Ameraucana - most likely roo. Breeder says still too early to tell, but I'm...
I feel lucky having gotten any girls at all
It's okay though, honestly. I'm making plans to get 2 dozen more eggs to throw in the incubator in March for an April Fool's Day hatch. I can only have so many chickens so I'll keep the ladies and the boys will either be sold (LOL right) or processed.
Week 7! I didn't get all of them and of the black ameraucana, I can't tell them apart unless they're side by side or if I go do a study on previous chick pics LOL
Semi group photo. We know the red one is a boy lol
Ameraucana - MIGHT be a girl, but leaning towards boy.

I've conceded to not being able to get fancy pics of the chicks going forward. Week 4 pics were kinda meh, but I did get quite a few pics of them today, at week 5. I'll try to make them make sense LOL
The chick up front and the red one behind him are two...
You're probably right ;) I think I'm seeing some pinking of the comb, but it's still early yet.
Also, the ones you've noted the tiny combs on, they have pea combs, so they're going to be pretty insignificant for a while
Chick 11 and 13 are buddies. Those two come and roost on my hand/arm if...
It's totally just for fun! I know that it's not likely to be any sort of accurate at this age, but I figured that a good game of boy/girl can't hurt. Maybe I also don't want to suffer alone :)
They're 2 weeks old at the start of this thread and it's still WAY early to be able to sex the chicks, but for fun and games, why not try?
Chick 1 - Black Ameracauna - possibly mottled.
Chick 2 - Blue Mottled Ameracauna
Chick 3 - Backyard mix - was possible NN but come out...
