Help me sex these SBEL

[kimmypie]

These chicks are about 8 weeks old now. They are from a wheaten Ameraucana roo and a leghorn mom.

#2

#3

I can try to get more/better pics, these little buggers don't want to stay still and it's hard to take pictures with one hand when holding a flapping chick in the other!

The first one definitely looks like a cockerel. I'm leaning towards cockerel on 2 also.

Dang! #1 is the one I really wanted to be a girl because it has the coloring I want.

In my opinion:

#1 Looks like a roo
#2 is a Hen
#3 Rooster

Any other opinions?

In my experience, the SBEL's that look like boys at a young age usually turn out to be girls. I'm a little suspicious of the first baby, but the second and third still look like they could be girls.

Yes chicken photography is difficult! Do they have names?

1st one looks like a male, and the 3rd one may be male, too. #2 may be your only pullet.

My five year old named these and they are all three "Jason". I figured once we knew which ones were girls then we could name more or maybe change the name. I got three in hopes of at least one girl, so as long as one of them is a pullet I'm good. Disappointed it isn't the pretty wheaten one, but I'll survive. the girly one does have some wheaten color in her shoulders at least.
