HELP ME PLEASE!!!!

All but #3 look EE to me. Number 3 looks like it could potentially be pure austrolorp. And I absolutely adore the barred EE!

the one you are calling a barred rock is a barred ee instead...they all appear to have ee them no one is a pure breed there and all your ameraucana's are ee's as well

Those are muffs, not tufts. Araucanas have tuffs, they have little fleshy bumps on the side of their face that normal sized feathers grow out of. Go check out feathersite.com for some pictures, I am on my phone, so I can't upload pictures.

Thanks for the info

all the chicks with beards have either an EE mom and/or dad.

1, 4, and 6 are roosters

Where is the beard?

Never mind.. I googled "chicken beards" and no I see that a lot of my chickens have them.. Hmm.. I thought they were all austrolorps

If all EE's have beards/muffs, then why doesn't the white EE (#5) have them?

not all ee's have beards

True. I have two that don't. This one is similar to yours:

Since only one parent has a beard, the chick has a 50% chance of getting a beard. Even though she doesn't have a beard, based on the coloring, I would say she is an EE. She could still lay a green egg, I have a beardless ee that lays pretty blue/green eggs.

I'd go with this also, except I don't think #4 will ever give you green eggs. His daugher might, but not him personally. #1 is also a cockeral, I think the rest look like pullets.

One and six are cockerels, but the partridge type coloring on #4 indicates it is a pullet. A cockerel would look more black breasted red at this point.
