Araucanas and Sebrights - Roos or Hens

[CHBhomesteader]

Hello! I’d love your thoughts on the top two Araucanas and the bottom middle Sebright.
They’re nearly 8 weeks old.
Bottom left and right have been crowing for a good few weeks now, so they’re definitely Roosters.

Many thanks!

The seabright you are unsure about seems like a cockerel as well. The guesses you made seem to be correct as the bird on the top right has a very red comb at that age. And I don’t think what you have are true araucanas as they have a crest (the feathers on top of their head), they seem to be a mix of some sort, but they are very cute!

The sebright is a cockerel, and you're right on all the others!

Thanks for that - do you have any idea what you think they are a mix of?

I agree that your only girl is the top left Araucana. They do look pure to me as well. They are British Araucanas.

British Araucanas do indeed have a crest, muffs, and beard.

Yes, they do come from Araucana mum + dad. I’m in New Zealand if that clears things up.
