Ameraucana gender help?

I have lots of pea comb youngsters right now too and I think it's too early to tell. Number 3 and 4 might be girls too. Also you could weigh them to see which are bigger. Boys are usually bigger and in a few weeks the boys will be more obvious by chasing girls and calling them to food, dancing for them, etc. The saddle feathers and some tail feathers will grow longer too and be something to look for.

How old are they? Can we see more than just the combs? Pointy hackle & saddle feathers don't start coming in till 10-12 weeks I believe.

They're all 14 week by now, some a tad older. We didn't have the exact hatch dates when we got them and there were different ages by up to a week. But they have definitely changed since I posted these pics. I'm starting to see the ones people thought could go either way are looking mostly like pullets now. And they are smaller than the others. There are obvious cockerels for sure. Right now out of the 6 I have at my house I believe only two to be pullets. We split them up between my house and a friend's, so I don't have daily access to the rest. But I really do think it's starting to be more obvious every day.

@TinyBirds my friend took #3 to her house, but #4 is one that I'm strongly leaning towards pullet now. And possibly #6, but I'm not as sure about that one.

Thanks for the help!!

I'm getting more male than female this year too. Let us know how the results come out! It's fun guessing. Thanks for your post and photos. Fun to look at

I will deft update! BTW - the rooster in your profile pic looks a little like our EE rooster. I had do a double take when I noticed it. Ours was sold to us at the feed store as an Araucana at 2 weeks old - LOL!
