Gender and Breed input - 7 weeks

[lv9777]

I have three chicks from a Tractor Supply Bin. The black one is supposedly a black Maran. I think the red is a RIR. The last one is supposed to be an Ameraucana which after reading these threads means its an EE. Does that sound right? They are 7 weeks old and I am guessing all pullets, but I would love input.

So I would say yes they all look like the breeds you listed . And they also all look like pullets to me.

Thank you! I have a streak of hatching Roos. Hoping that I was a better bin picker that hatcher.

Looked up Hoover's website ....

• Our Easter Eggers are a combination of the traditional American Easter Eggers, which typically has a pea comb, beard and green legs, along with the European version of Easter Eggers, which are called Grünleger, which typically have yellow legs, a single comb, and commonly a tuft on its head. The Grünleger is a hybrid cross between a commercial type Legbar, and brown egg-laying hens, therefore unlike the American Easter Egger, they will not breed true, with only a portion of the offspring laying colored eggs. Overall, the Easter Eggers typically lay colored eggs, but up to 15% of the time you will have one that lays brown or cream eggs.
  
  Purpose: Egg Layer Production: 240 Medium Colored Eggs/Year Temperament: Docile, Active Mature Weight: 4-6 lbs. Hardiness: Cold Hardy, Not Heat Hardy Broodiness: Occasionally Comb Type: Single or Pea Comb

You are correct. You have a Rhode Island Red, an Easter Egger, and a maran. All pullets.
What a nice bunch!

TSC always mislabels their chicks. Ameraucanas are never ameraucanas at TSC… always EE’s.
