5-6 week old olive egger and Ameraucana chicks - gender check please!

[Avalon15]

I know this photo is far from ideal! I'll try and get some better ones soon.

From left - #1, 2 and 4 are 6 week old feed store Ameraucanas, brought home as babies. They claim "90% hen" but we know how that goes.
#3 and #5 are 5 week old Jersey Giant/olive egger hatched at home.

I'm fairly certain #5 is a boy. That comb is getting bigger and pinker by the day. I also know that these guys can mature late so I can't rule anyone out yet.

Thank you for humoring me!

I'm not great at this game, but I agree with your guess on #5.

Too early to hazard a guess for me

#5 and #2

I'm convinced roo for #5. Reddening comb, thick legs (not pictured). Jury's still out on the others.

All are pullets except #5.

The "Ameraucanas" from the feed store are most likely Easter Eggers.

I agree with you... #5 is cockerel, the rest are probable pullets.

Thanks - I figured as much. I care not! I will be a little sad if they all turn out to be boys, though.

I’d say for sure of #5 I kind of suspect #3 due to kind of red comb, and it is a bit big compared to all the others

I was wondering too. For reference, #3 is a sibling of #5, and a different breed than the other 3. I'm hoping that accounts for the larger comb. In person, #5's legs are about twice as thick as #3's and the comb is much larger and redder.

My last hatch (which included their father) was 5 years ago and they all turned out to be boys, so the bar isn't too high for these guys.
