Help with gender? :)

[Miriahbrown]

Our chicks are 6 weeks old today and I think I know their genders, but I want opinions. We hatched 4 chicks with one of our broody Orpingtons.

They're all Easter eggers bc the roo was an Americans. We believe the chicks' moms are:
1. Beatrix: Plymouth Rock (tan/cream egg)
2. Maple: Easter egger/Americana (blue/teal egg)
3. Nan: White Leghorn (from white egg)
4. Sam: Copper Maran (tan egg)

All are cockerels

Yeah sorry I agree that they're all cockerels. I also think they're mixes. They all look like Easter Eggers except #1 but I think that one is also a mix because it has the wrong leg color for a Plymouth Barred Rock and cockerels would typically have double white barring but I'm seeing single barring.

Dad was an Americana (got eggs from a friend)

If the dad was an Americana all of these chicks are Easter Eggers/mixes.

I missed that part. When I read it the first time, I thought the "copper marans" was the only one with the Easter Egger father.

Oh goodness that will be awful. It was such an ordeal to hatch these.. trying to rehome 4 roos sounds awful. Yes, they're all Easter eggers - I was listing their mother's breed in case that was helpful

I'm sorry! That's some bad luck. Next hatch should be easier and more enjoyable... and hopefully luckier!
