EEs and Ameraucana Mix genders??? pic heavy

[Dexters Mom]

You didn't really expect gender ID'd eggs did you???

God no!!!!! I am aware that an egg can not tell me if it will hatch into a pullet or a cockerel!

This bunch of chicks is 'multi-cultural'.
All different colors, some have 5 toes, some have feathered legs, all different sizes and different shades in leg coloring.
I can't compare them to each other like I would chicks of the same breed.
I can't look at the size of their combs or how thick their legs are, etc
Most pure breed chickens don't cause so much confusion and are just easier to sex at this age.

"They are Ameraucana Mixes and EEs. I will send you 6 bluish-green eggs and 6 apricot colored ones!" That is the only information I got from the seller regarding the eggs and what breeds would be in the mix.

Actually.. I think there is a way to tell based on the shape of the egg... my grandma somehow does this successfully, she grew up with them, but I keep forgetting what is what. She only hatches the eggs she thinks will be female, and from what I know, she only hatches a cockerel when hers is getting old. Hers are all mutts, lives in another country. Will try to take picsnext time I go, havent seen her since I got my chickens.

I'm going with M3 and F1 boys for sure. The others combs either don't look very red or it doesn't show up in the picture. My experience with EEs and cross breeds in general has been the cockerels combs and wattles turn red way earlier than the pullets.
