Hello! I have one Olive Egger I am fairly certain is a rooster and one Ameraucana I suspect is a rooster. I also have one chicken that I hope is an Ameraucana but suspect it is an OE. I ordered 5 and got a 6th so I’m not sure what the extra is. I am guessing they were at least a week old when I got them so I’m estimating they are about 6-7 weeks old. The little gray one is the smallest and I think slightly younger than the rest.
See the attached and let me know what you think!
The one with the little bit of brown is my mystery freebie

Picture one is a cockerel
Picture two/three is a cockerel
Picture four/five is a pullet
Photobomber looks like a pullet as well.

Thanks for the help! I was really hoping I would get lucky with picture 2/3 and end up with a pullet. Do you think picture 4/5 is an olive egger?

Could be. Olive Eggers are made up of different mixes, so hard to tell for sure. I can not see in the photo if she has feathered legs. If so, best guess based on the photo would be Ameraucana/BCM cross.😊

No, no feathered legs. The two olive eggers I got were both gray with feathered legs. My thought was this chick was mistakenly grabbed from a bin. It’s for sure not an extra black australorp so I figured either EO or possibly Ameraucana

Wrong comb type for Ameraucana. This bird has a single comb. If you want to post better photos of her, full body side view, we can give it a better go. :)
