8 week old Ameraucana chicks - pullets or cockerels?

[eje99]

Hi everyone,

My chicks are 8 weeks old in these pictures taken about 1.5 weeks ago. They were sold to me as Ameraucana's, but I realize they may be EE's. Any thoughts on whether I have pullets or cockerels?


Chick #1 - Dr. Dre




Chick #2 - Hendrick Lamar
(My teenagers picked the names)





Chick #3 - Idgie




Chick #4 - Jo Jo





I do have or can take better pictures of combs and legs and different angles if that would help.
Thanks for looking!

Chick #1 and #2 look like possible cockerels to me, though a photo of their comb would help confirm that. The other two are pullets. And yes, they are all Easter Eggers, not Ameraucanas.

They are all Easter Eggers. #1 and #2 are looking like possible cockerels.

Thanks for your quick responses. I had thought I had a 50/50 split, but I'm very much a newbie! The first two are a bit larger than the other two and Dr. Dre appears to be dominant at this point. They're so much fun to watch!

My thoughts exactly. Comb shots at 8 weeks should clear things up.

Chick number 3 looks identical to a chick we have!! Were not for sure what breed she is though. Could you tell me the breed of chick number 1 and 3 maybe?? I’m assuming they are Ameraucanas, if they are, what kind..?
