Ameraucanas & Easter Eggers: What colors will they be as adults?

[Thaney Design]

When I first purchased these (I believe there are 7 Ameraucanas and 3 EEs) I could tell them apart. Not anymore... is there a way to? I'd also really love to know what colors they're going to be... I tried to attach some decent photos... would love to hear your thoughts.

Also, any advice for sexing them in the coming weeks?

Anything that doesn't have a pea comb (I thought I saw a single comb in there) and anything that doesn't have blue/slate legs (which will get darker as they age) with pinkish feet bottoms.... if they don't have muffs, they're not ameraucana. As for color, I can't help there.

Post more pics when they are around 6/7 weeks and it'll be easier for everybody to tell. I'm curious to see what they'll look like too lol They're adorable right now!

They all look like Easter Eggers to me.

You have neither hens nor roos.... These guys are all too young to be either. You do have some pullets and some cockerels.

The 2nd and 5th are your definite cockerels. The rest are 'probably' pullets. There are a couple of certainly pullets.

That makes sense, and thanks for the correction.

Also, do any of these colors have names, or are they just sort of mutt colors on my mutt birds?

As they aren't pure bred, they don't have names for those colors. What you have above is good enough.
And if they're from a hatchery... they aren't really 'mutts'. Hatchery EEs are bred to each other for generations, the only time they aren't is when they throw an Ameraucana in the mix to refresh the blue egg gene.
