5 week old Easter Egger/Americana genders

[CaitVanStone]

Hi! I have always raised buff Orpingtons and Australorps so I am new to this breed! I have 4 Americana/Easter eggs and 1 olive egger. Any guesses of gender based of combs?

#1 is my olive egger #2-5 are “americanas”

#2 & 3 are my questionable ones as the both seem to stand more like a roo and a little more instigator personalities!

2 and 4 are definitely pullets based on their female specific coloration. The others it's too early to tell

Keep an eye on #3. That one has very uneven coloring so I would bet cockerel.

No red flags on the others at this point.

I concur with keep an eye on number 3 for the same reason, I don't see anyone else that red flags for me.

Update, I’m 99% sure 2 is a roo! I’m surprised but his coloring has changed and him and 3 are constantly fighting

Two is definitely a cockerel. Three as well. Do you have updated pics of the other three?

I don’t have a great photo of my olive egger but I’m 100% sure she is a pullet! My only other concern is number 5. She looks like a pullet to me however she instigates the two boys and does not let them pick on the two girls. If she is in deed a hen she will definitely be at the top of the pecking order lol I don’t really have a great picture of the other ones. It won’t let me upload the video I have of them!

Yes, I agree. You can see the male specific coloring now. Looking through your new pics, I think 2 and 3 are still your only cockerels.
