8 weeks old. Looking for help on breed identification, Easter egger? Olive egger? and if one is a cockerel. Thanks!

That last pic throws me a little. Where did you get them? They look like EEs / Americauna (note spelling...NOT Ameraucana) to me. I suppose they could be OEs too depending on the cross. Plumage and tails look like pullets...I don't see the typical solid red or other color patches on shoulders and I'd expect that on a cockerel at this age. Some EEs have single combs so perhaps the last one got one. It looks a little pink and might worry me a little if the plumage wasn't so pullet-like.

Thanks for responding! I should have been more clear in my post. I’m looking to identify 5 birds in the first picture. I’m fairly certain they are all pullets. Then I’m trying to figure out if the chicken in the last picture is a cockerel. That one is a buff Orpington. Sorry about that.

Hi I would say there Americanus but I’m still new to that breed also in the last photo I would say that one appears to be a hen if it is full grown but more possibly a rooster if it is younger Hope I can be of help

The first five look to be Easter Egger pullets. The buff Orpington is a maybe.... Can you post more pictures of that one in a few more weeks?
