Boys or girls?

[aggie2013]

I have 5 ameraucana chicks that are now one week old. I think I have 3 girls and 2 boys but I'm not sure.

Looks like (in order) boy, boy, girl, girl, girl. They look cute!

Ameraucana can not be feather sexed. They do not possess fast or slow feathering genes, and therefore, feather sexing day old chicks is not possible.

Much to young. Need to be at least 6 weeks old on pea combed breeds to start guessing.

Ah. Well darn it then. I'm a chicken raising newbie so I still have much to learn.

So what would I need to look for in ameraucanas?

Males will usually be fairly well developed and red in the comb by 8 weeks old.
