Can anyone help sex these Araucana?

Yep.
Look up about saddle feathers. It's quite interesting seeing the cockerel specific feathering.
Plus it helps you to identify cockerels in future, which always helps.

Post photos. There's always someone willing to help.

Great! I will post some soon.

All four are cockerels. You can see the pointy saddle and hackle feathers on all of them and their combs are red and big.

I did wonder that, but they would be big and red at this age. I thought the 'girls' feathers were just wet.

Definitely all males?

Yeahhhh....they're males. It looked like girls with wet feathers, but I should have looked closer.
Sorry!

The second from the right might just be the lowest ranking or less developed.

Yes, definitely. I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

But at least they are very handsome males.

They really are!
Were you able to actually choose the chicks, or did they just choose them for you?
If you chose a breed that is autosexing you could read up about that particular breed and be able to choose girls. Or at least get a higher number of girls.
What will you do with these boys btw?
