Hen or Roo?

[Linam05]

Hello!! I have a couple more chickens that either think I know and need clarification or have not even a clue.

1: Roo (I am fairly certain on this one)
2: Pullet
3: ???
4: ???

They're cuties! How old are they?

They are!!!! They were born June 29. Supposed to be Ameraucana but I’m thinking other than 1&2 they’re Easter egger

I am not good with EEs or Ameraucanas. I know that male EEs often have red patches on their shoulders, and their overall coloring is "blotchy" whereas pullets have more uniform coloring. Like #4 - very uniform pattern. I'm thinking pullet. Not even sure I want to hazard a guess at the others - lol!

I feel you!!! I feel confident that #1 is a roo because of the saddle feathers. But honestly this is my first flock and I am clueless haha

#1 looks like the only possible cock. Do you see any pointed saddle feathers coming in? Also, they are EEs.

Thank you!! He has some definite saddle feathers which is what made me feel certain.

I'd say 1 and 2 are cockerels and 3 and 4 are pullets. Can you get pictures that aren't back lit?

1 and maybe 2 are boys

Ok I tried they kept running away so this is the best I could do.
