Blue ameracauna roo - different hens

[Treehair89]

These chicks are 7 weeks

Blue ameracauna roo and the hens are: Barred rock
Rhode island red
Dominique
Easter egger (I know which chick this is, the only blue egg that hatched)

Trying to sex these, I heard if a non barred roo and a barred hen baby hatches and has bars on the wings, it's a rooster.

The 3rd and last look like roos but I’m not completely sure, better photos would help

At this age combs are the best way to judge and yet may still be too early.
Clear close ups of combs in good lighting will help. Nice chicks.

Thank you! I will get some better photos when i get home.

This chick has white barring.
As long as your rooster (the father) has no barring, then this chick MUST be male.


Just like the previous one, this has white barring, so it must be male (unless your rooster has white barring, but I'm pretty sure you've said he doesn't.)


This one looks female to me.


This one, and the one with the EE mother, both have combs that are rather big & bright for their age, so I think they are probably males. If they are males, they should be much more obvious in a few more weeks.

Thank you.. I was worried about having all roos haha. Now I have at least 3, that's what I've been telling my daughter (she's the chicken girl lol)

Not sure of momma hen 3, assuming barred rock or Dominique. Most likely barred rock.
