Hi!

I picked up a few new breeds of chicks for our farm a few months ago at a local chicken sale. They are now 12 weeks old and I’m trying to sort out gender. I wonder if anyone can help out. I have one black Polish, three black ameraucana, two blue ameraucana, and two salmon favorelle that I’m not sure about.

It’s been a rainy, muddy week around here, please excuse the messy hairdos

I’d appreciate any input!!

I'm sorry but the Polish definitely is having a bad hair day. Oh my. :gig I can relate as I have curly hair that takes off in humidity too.

As to gender:
1 Polish....I think a female, but I'm not an expert on Polish. Hard to see comb, but lack of prominence makes me think female...but it's only 12 weeks. I'll step aside to those with personal Polish experience.

2. Salmon Favorelle 1...All rooster, from red wing bows, black chest, to fleshy red comb.

3. Salmon Favorelle 2....again rooster. Female Salmon Favorelles are completely differently colored.

4. In first photo of Blue Ameraucana, Both, it looks to be left male, right female. Then your labeled Blue Ameraucana #1 is female. However your labeled #2 looks less male in that light, but I think it is wash from sunlight.

5. All 3 of your Black Ameraucanas look to be female at this point.

My thoughts.

Polish got a shampoo today...feathers were still a tad wet in the photos but she was done being held
