Determine the sex of these Aruacanas

[farmlady2021]

These three chicks are 5 weeks old today and are supposed to be Arucaunas! Do you think they are truly Aruacanas and what sex do you think they are! The legs on the white/black are 2-3times bigger than the other two. It also fights a lot with the other chicks and especially with the brown one pictured! I personally think the black/white is a cockerel but I am new to this so I wanted to ask about all three!

They are Easter Eggers - the white bird is most likely a pullet, but the other two are cockerels.

Oh man! The feed store told me these were Aruacanas I am hoping none of the other chicks are roosters since these two are! I thought they both were but like I said I am new to this! Thank you!

It's sad how lots of hatcheries and feed stories mix up Araucanas and Ameraucanas for Easter Eggers.

You are so right!! I think the hatchery they got them from told them they were Aruacanas, they are a big purina dealer so it might of been purina that they got them from
