Hi there, I have 12 chicks right now that I'm trying to figure out the sex on. There are a couple I'm pretty sure one way or another, but looking for confirmation on those and if anyone can tell on the others yet. I have more than one picture for a couple of them.

If it helps, Hazel, Olive and Ruby are salmon faverolles possibly mixed with ameraucana. Ruby is about 2 weeks older than the others of the same breed. Flower is salmon faverolles/Andalusian mix. Willow is Andalusian. Opal is a buff/lavender Orpington mix. Granite, Rocky and Pepper are all barred rocks. Chickmonk is an ameracauna and I'm missing pictures of Onyx (she's a black EE and I'm pretty sure female. Also pretty sure Opal is female. And I am missing pictures of another ameracauna who is too fast for me to get a good pic of!)
Thanks for your guesses!

Opal, Pepper, Rocky, and Chickmonk are your only females
Really?? 😭 You don't think any of my salmon faverolles mixes are female? The lady who sold me the eggs said they always get bigger combs really early... So I'm still holding out hope that at least one or two might be girls. They're my friendliest chicks. Also the two I didn't get pics of I'm almost positive are females. The other ameraucana I have is smaller than chickmonk and very similar in the face. No comb showing at all. So hopefully they're both girls. 🤞
My last batch of chicks I posted on here whoever told me the sexes was 100% right. I ended up with 11 cockerels in that batch and only 4 pullets! So I hope to have a better ratio this time, 50% I could handle. Lol.
 
Those are the only girls I see. I’m sorry.
Not your fault.. But I can still hope you're wrong, right? Haha.
I ended up finding a couple group pictures of my missing ones...I hope I'm right and they are both pullets??
