8 week old EE chicks - cockerels? Pullets?

[Wynette]

Hello there! I tried to get close-ups of their combs - I THINK I've got 3 cockerels and 2 pullets, but not sure. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! (I also have side shots if that would help):

Chick #1 (cockerel?):

Chick #2 (pullet, I think):

Chick #3 (cockerel?)

Chick #4 (pullet?)

Chick #5 (cockerel?)

maybe you could get a shot of them from father away, so we can see tail feathers leg thickness ect.

I think #1 might be a boy, #2 definately girl, #3 Looks girly but that is a thick comb , #'s 4 & 5 i would say girls!

Do you have any body shots?

I have an 8 week old boy EE and his comb is very red but looks like #1.

Looks to me like you guessed right but I wouldnt be too quick to get rid of the Roos just yet until you know for sure. Ameracuana/EE take longer to fully develop then other breeds and what you may think is a Roo may surprise you and be a hen.

I agree with the poster above me-and the final one may be a pullet. I wouldn't get rid of any just yet though!

#1 definately a cockerel.

#2 & #3 iffy.

#4 & #5 look like pullets to me.

Thanks for all your feedback! I'm in no hurry to get rid of my extra cockerels at this point; I'll for sure keep #1, as he looks just like his momma, and was extremely ill for a long time. With all the hand feeding I did with him, I got really attached to him. I wasn't going to keep any cockerels, and I'm not sure how I'll make it work with keeping him, but hopefully I'll get it all figured out! Anyhow, thanks for your feedback - it's very much appreciated!

1 and 3 are boys and 2, 4, and 5 look like girls. But they can surprise you...lol
