Araucana sexing

[CCUK]

So those are likely to be pullets.

The white one you have pictured here does have thick legs, and it has color at the comb. So I would lean toward it being a cockerel. But do give it a couple of more weeks at least to be sure.

I would say the same for the other one. The color at the comb is suspicious, and also the black feathers at the breast. But it would be a shame to make a final judgement too early and give away a pullet.

I'm too attached to be giving them away! Even if there cockerals! I'll be waiting to hear any crows for sure!

Yes, it's easy to become attached. Two cockerels might be a problem, though. Hopefully at least one turns out to be a pullet.

Here is the other two.

The one on the top has a problem with its toes on one foot. I have been giving it Vit B complex in its water but doesn't seem to have much of an effect. Any ideas about that either?

Both pullets. The toes on the first one seem crooked. Maybe it's just the way she landed, but if not, keep an eye on her.

@JedJackson funny how I noticed the brown in the wing but not the black breast. That would point to male, but in mixed coloured birds, there's still hope to be had.

The second batch are both female; the second looks blue-red, the first is mixed colour again. The crooked toes could be genetic, and so long as they aren't hurting her, I would just let her be and avoid breeding her.

Agree. There is still hope for both but I would have to guess cockerels. And hope I'm wrong.

So the juries out!! I'm hopeful and full of willpower! Atleast if they are cockerals I do have a home for both of them. So they won't meet an untimely end.

That's excellent. Most people aren't so lucky. I'm rooting for pullets, though!

! It's a shame but I can't keep cockerals where I live. Or I could keep them but complaints would soon happen and I don't want to upset neighbours. They put up with enough from me with my backyard zoo!!

Would love some help to confirm sexing. I think it’s two pullets (one pic of each), one roo (two pics) and one I’m not sure about (last two photos). All 6/7 weeks.
Thanks in advance!
