All sorts of help needed.

Hi guys. We have our first 4 chickens. I know the Barred Rock is a hen (she's laying already), but I'm not sure about the silver laced wyandottes. One has a wide, short comb with smaller waddles. The other has a thin, spikey comb with larger waddles, but they still aren't as large as the photos of the cockerels I've seen at this age. Their coloring is quite different, but it honestly looks to me that they both have pointed feathers, so I'm having a hard time with that clue.

I also am wondering if this Americauna is actually an Americauna. She (he?) has blue legs, but her coloring is strange. The older it gets, the more it has a tan color on the breast.

They are around 16-18 weeks.

Thanks!!

And I'm new to BYC, so I might have attached photos wrong. Oops.

I am new to chickens but I think they are all hens, otherwise by now you would have noticed the rooster's features by now.

Nice pullets

Oh wow. The two Wyandottes looked so different, I was certain one was a rooster! I didn't realize there would be such variance. Thanks!

They all look like pullets to me.

Welcome to BYC to both you and Auntie Pets

Your Ameraucana looks like my Easter Egger, which was sold to me with the label: Araucana(sp?) Lovely birds though. All ladies, I'm sure.

Ah. Ok. I'm ok with an Easter Egger, I just wanted to be calling her by the right title.

They all look like pullets. The two wyandottes have two different combs, that is why they look different. It's common with hatcheries. One have a rose comb the other has a single comb. The last bird is an easter egger.
