Brahma, Buff Orp, Australorp and Ameraucana/EE sex questions. 4 weeks

[PaintedMeadows]

OK. So these are some of our 4 week old chicks. First of is I hope, Hermione. She/he is an Ameraucana or EE. Which and hen?

Next is another Ameraucana or EE. Which and sex? The legs don't look green in the sunlight. They look more blue.

Last Ameraucana or EE and same question, sex and which?

Buff orp, hen?

Australorpe, hen?

Buff Orp and Australorpe, roos?

Dark Brahma, roo?

We are new to this and very excited but green.

Thanks so much in advance!!

They're very cute

I'd say your guesses are right on... Except maybe the Dark Brahma. That one's a toss up for me.

Hi Painted Meadows.

I'm a newbie myself, and just the same I've learned a lot about EE's/Ameraucanas/Araucanas.

Unless you purchased your chicks from a breeder, (and then you wouldn't have any questions about breed) your first three chicks pictured are all EE's.

I also have 3 EE chicks (almost 2 weeks old now) and got myself quite confused because their leg color didn't seem to match the information others were sharing. I decided to wait and see. In a short time there have been A LOT of changes

and now all three look like EE's - each with their own style of course.

My best guess for your EE's is all pullets. And since I'm totally new to this, that means I've got a 50% chance of guessing right

I'm totally clueless on the rest.

Can you get a little closer comb pics on your EE's??
The first one looks like a Roo
Have to see better pics of the others to tell though

In 4 more weeks, it will all be a lot clearer for you.

 

[PaintedMeadows]

Thank you all. I will try to get better comb pictures or just wait for a few more weeks. I really hope the first one is a pullet though. It's my favourite! lol.

The Austrolorp is almost surely a pullet

 

[PaintedMeadows]

Thank you.. I was really hoping all the EEs were pullets but we seem to have a 50/50 guess so I will just have to wait and see and try not to get too attached!

Our EE's are about 10 weeks old and yours look like ours-all girls.
