Gender and Breed as very confused now

[cviegra]

We purchased 12 chicks from. Local TSC store. We have a child with allergies so we are needing as organic and fresh as possible. We wanted a variety of eggs and birds. We picked out 4 Americiana's - straight run(I think), 2 Tetra Tints pullets, 4 Golden comet pullets, 2 Production Red straight run. We lost a tetra tint early so we are down to 11 9 week old chicks. Any help on figuring out if we have roosters or pullets would be great help as well as the americainas do not looks like americainas a friend has.

All 3 in this pic are pullets!

All these look like pullets too!

All your Amaracanas are actually Easter Eggers!

All look like pullets.

All your birds look like pullets

At this age, an Oops rooster would usually stick out like a sore thumb with a big comb.

Your Ameraucanas are actually Easter eggers, meaning they're birds of various colors that have a high chance of laying blue or green eggs. That's why they look different from each other and your friend's birds. Blue or green eggs are genetically linked to a pea comb, and from what I can see of your girls they all have a nice pea comb, so that bodes well for colored eggs!

You have a nice selection of breeds for a backyard flock and should get a nice range of egg colors once those ladies start laying

Thank You all! I was hoping we had mostly pullets. I knew the Easter Eggers did not look like Americana's that I found online nor the Rooster and Females my friend had but could not figure out what they were.
