Thank you. Actually number 5 has zero pink: her comb is reassuringly yellow, this is why I'm having some concerns, but I would expect more red in 10 weeks cockerels... time will tell!

1 hen 2 hen 3 rooster 4 hen 5 hen 6 hen 7 rooster 8 roosterHi, these chicks are supposed to have been born around February 24th (this is what the seller said, but some of them seem younger to me!).
First picture was taken on March 6th, second picture was taken on April 7th and all single pictures were taken today.
1, 2 and 3 are Legbar and pretty easy to tell: 1 and 2 pullets, 3 roo.
4 and 5 are Araucana (Italian standard, I know it's very different from all other Araucana standards!) an my guess is they are both pullets.
6, 7 and 8 are Olive Eggers (F1 MaransXAraucana): 6 seems to be pullet to me and 7 with all that red on the chest must be cockerel. The one I'm racking my brains over is number 8: (s)he still has no wattles and comb is still small and pale, but this is true also for number 7... so I can't really tell. The only difference between them is that 8 has no red feathers anywhere. I'm leaning toward cockerel but I would really appreciate your inputs.
Thanks for your help!
Thank you, I really hope so!1 hen 2 hen 3 rooster 4 hen 5 hen 6 hen 7 rooster 8 rooster
Hoping they are all girls - it is looking like it!!Around 12 weeks now, they don't seem to have changed much in the past 2 weeks. As far as I understand, aside from the obvious Legbar cockerel, the only one that could be a male is the Olive Egger number 6, but I can't see any pointy feathers so far. What do you think?View attachment 4127840View attachment 4127841View attachment 4127842
