ok so i started off with 5 chicks 2 silkies and 3 americaunas, unfortunatly 1 americauna died so went and got 2 more.

These chickens were born May 9, though the red silkie was born in Feb so he is a bit older.

Here is what I am wondering how many Roo's do I have since out of 6 we are thinking we have at least 5

I've never heard of a chinese ameraucana.??? Are they a US breed or are you in another country?

I can't tell a thing from your pics, but I'm not super good at sexing. Their combs don't look especially red, but that could just be because the pics are a little fuzzy.
The brownish one in your second pic has a pretty dark comb compared to the one next to it, but I guess you already have that one figured out. The one you call brown also looks dark, but it doesn't resemble the pics on the ABC website of a brown/red ameraucana.
 
Ok, red silkie definetly looks roo to me; the rest really look like hens, with the exception of chinese, the black and white one. Pretty chickies ya got there!

@ Goldfinches Chickybums 5 yr old son named them and chinese is the birds name. @ Chickybums I am sorry you lost one of them.
Oh, lol, that's funny! I thought they were a European breed. Thanks for the clarification.

I hear silky roos are great, glad you have one.
