Are these Welsummers?

[Tookie]

Hi! I just got some chicks today and I am wondering if these chicks are Welsummers. I got some Easter Eggers too and they look very similar to the Welsummers. If you need better pics I can take some more.

Definitely need pics in regular room light. The red light masks colors and features.

Are these pics good? It’s cloudy and cold outside so I can’t really get natural light. I think these are Welsummers, I also am thinking the first chick pics is a rooster, I can’t stop thinking that it could be one. I got them as females so I hope they are. But of course I can’t know for sure until it’s older.

Actually, on second glance, they do look like Welsummers to me.

I think the lighter color chick could be a rooster, does anyone else think that? I really hope it's not one, I bought all my chicks as females.

I thought Welsummer roos usually have a bit of white on their head but maybe I’m wrong.

Well I don't know if it's a roo or not, I'm probably worrying to much. I can't have another roo so I hope it's a hen.

• All of these breeds are Auto-sexing, so they should be pullets

Here's a link I was looking at the other day, as I have a group of hatchery surprises:

There's a paragraph that appears to agree that (if) they're welsumer, the lighter is a boy and the darker is a girl.

This is how my Easter Eggers looked when I got them. Mine have welsummer in them.
