any suggestions on the gender of this araucana cross

[urbanhillbilly]

Ok, I'm worried now about the gender of my araucana cross. does anyone else think it is a boy?

I couldn't resist posting some pics of my chicks. They are about 8 weeks old now, any idea what they are? I think they all have the same father, but different mothers.

Chick 1 - from a blue egg (Australian araucana I was told)

Chick 2 - from a brown egg. I know you can't see much in this photo, but he/she has very slight feathering on the legs. The legs are blackish/yellow and are pretty large.

Chick 3 - this one is from a white egg. There are 2 chicks just like this - only the other one has pinkish legs.

Chick 4 - white egg (the one in the front)

I couldn't tell you what breed but they sure are pretty. I especially like the second one.

Thank you!

A few weeks ago I was convinced that chick 2 was a boy because of the large legs and s/he was really slow to feather out. Now I'm really hoping it is a girl - I think she's lovely.

I don't know, but I think the first pic is a boy. Nice birds.

Oh dear, that's no good. I was looking forward to some blue/green eggs.

1st one is a boy. 2nd one I'm on the fence about, but I'll say boy. (just because of the red in the comb) 3rd looks like a pullet. 4th looks like a pullet.
