Hi all -
I posted about a month ago pics of my twelve Ameraucanas asking for gender guesses. A link is here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...tween-ameraucana-sexes.1251778/#post-20082227 JedJackson was very kind and gave his opinion of their genders.
Now that they are fully two months old (today is their birthday!), I've taken more pics. At this age, of course, there are no hackle feathers and no tail feathers. The only difference between them are their combs and a little bit of size. I've posted a single pic of each's comb below as well as my guess to their gender (it's a batch of straight runs). Same names as before. What do you think?
*************************** BLACK ABC&D ******************************
Black A - Male
Black B - Male? Early red comb, but smaller in size
Black C - ehh, male? pinkish comb, but three rows
Black D - female
*************************** BLUE ABCD&E ******************************
Blue A - Female
Blue B - Male
Blue C - Female
Blue D - Female (very pale comb, though larger posterior point)
Blue E - Male (was the runt)
*************************** SPLASH AB&C ******************************
Splash A - Male
Splash B - Male
Splash C - Female
