These chicks are about 8 weeks old now. They are from a wheaten Ameraucana roo and a leghorn mom.

I can try to get more/better pics, these little buggers don't want to stay still and it's hard to take pictures with one hand when holding a flapping chick in the other! :)
 
The first one definitely looks like a cockerel. I'm leaning towards cockerel on 2 also.

Dang! #1 is the one I really wanted to be a girl because it has the coloring I want.
 
In my experience, the SBEL's that look like boys at a young age usually turn out to be girls. I'm a little suspicious of the first baby, but the second and third still look like they could be girls.
 
My five year old named these and they are all three "Jason". I figured once we knew which ones were girls then we could name more or maybe change the name. :) I got three in hopes of at least one girl, so as long as one of them is a pullet I'm good. Disappointed it isn't the pretty wheaten one, but I'll survive. :) the girly one does have some wheaten color in her shoulders at least.
