Here are my three week old pullets.
Percheron Chick, have a look and see if you can tell what ones are from your eggs. 3 of these are from your eggs. Everyone else, please chime in on what sex you think they might be!

I posted these pictures on "what breed or gender" thread, so I am re-posting here. I hope that is ok.

I will tell you the ones I am pretty sure hatched from which egg.
3 Weeks old today;
Chick #1. I am guessing a rooster. I think it was from a blue egg (Percheron Chick), so probably EE X with EE?






Chick #2 pullet? I am almost positive this hatched out of a blue eggs. I think sister to the above?









Chick #3 Only obvious NN, so NN X with a Marans? Hoping a pullet?







Chick #4 roo? This one might have been from one of PC eggs. I am not sure. This one had a classic white dot on it's head and was black, now showing some 'barring?"







Chick #5 Pullet (hope?). This one is the only one with feathered legs. The Ebay seller said she has one white marans with feathered legs. So, maybe ?






Chick #6 no idea if it is a pullet or roo. I couldn't get it to stand up.






Chick #7. All black with really black legs. I am almost positive this came from one of the local eggs with the EE roo X with barred rock. Would that cross make this?
This is the smallest and the slowest to feather out. No idea if it is a roo or pullet.












Thanks for looking. I'll try to get more pictures in a week or two.

I'm not going to be of much help. Not what I would of expected. The first 2 look like pea combs #6 too? I can't seem to click on that picture. Plus none look like they have beards and muffs. Isn't pea comb dominant? Roosters are ameraucana and araucana. The araucana is tuffless. Is rumplessness (is that a word) dominant? The first 2 look like little bald eagles.

Maggiemo- I love how angry #4 is in pic 2. Lol...he's not happy about any of it.

I know. It is crazy that none of them look like 'real' ameraucana's'. I am 100% sure that two hatched from 2 of your blue eggs, and 1 was from a brown egg of yours that you said was from a barred rock hen.
Three of the chicks did have muffs, I think #1 and #2, or maybe #6. But some did have muffs and now they they are gone. Weird huh?
I was hoping you would tell me that you had bird that looked just like this as chicks.

Oh well...stay tuned!

He/she wasn't loving the photo shoot.

Does the NN gal have cuckoo marans? I do have a BR but I have never seen her with either boy. I'm thinking if there are 3 pea comb chicks, those have to be mine.

 

[maggiemo]

The NN gal said she only had one rooster, a red NN and all the hens were marans. She mentioned white marans and cuckoo marans. I didn't ask if she had other types.

So I agree, any pea combs SHOULD be yours, so #1 #2 #6 sure look like pea combs, so does #5, but #5 has feathered legs. Do you have any with feathered legs?

 

[Percheron chick]

So the barred chick is a NN/cuckoo maran. I do have a buff brahma that is a favorite of the am.

 

[maggiemo]

I think that solves the mystery! The feather leged chick doesn't look anything like a marans. I bet you are right and it had a brahma mama.

I thought it looked like a BB but it looks like a single comb on my phone.
