Hi guys! First time posting here. I have a small flock of chickens that are 2 years old now- and this spring I decided to add some new ones. These three were sold to me as straight run Ameraucanas. This breed is new to me! And I've heard they are difficult to sex. Also from reading previous posts here I think they may not be actual ameraucanas?
Chick #2 I'm very confident is a pullet. She barely has any comb development and way less red in her feathers.
Chick #3 I'm thinking rooster? It is very confident, always trying to climb up high- also had the most comb development early on. The comb seems to be getting a bit more red and I think I see the start of some red wattles.
Chick #1 has the same feather pattern as #3, but little less developed comb (although way more than #2)
What do you guys think? They're very timid so it's hard to get close up pictures. Thanks!
*edit: I got some better close ups today
