Hello everyone;
Will you please help me to figure out the genders of our chicks? Or is this too early?
This is our first time raising chicks so we're very new to all this! One thing that is a bit worriesome is that it seems most of the chicks are practicing at being roosters (seeing who is taller - play fighting?) I could just be paranoid - since we're not allowed roosters in our area.
The blue & black/splash Ameracaunas were hatched from eggs purchased from this board. They hatched on May 22/23rd, so they are five weeks old today.
Blue Ameracauna (Just one blue chick...three pictures as I really want this one to be a pullet!)

2.
3.
Black/Splash (a total of five - and I can't keep track which is which so there may be duplicates! These came from the same batch of eggs as the blue above. (There is also a good photo of a black chick roosting above.)
4.

7.
The lighter ones below I purchased from Bothell Feed Store and I asked if they were really Ameracaunas or Easter Eggers - she said Ameracauna. Do you agree?
There are a total of three chicks. They are about a week older than the above chicks. (I would love to know what color these are as well...Buff or Wheaten? Or something else?) There are a total of three of these lighter chicks.

Thank you in advance!!!
