Hens or Roos? Breed guesses?

[CJJenkins]

These guys were given to me, the are supposed to be Aracaunas. This first one is for sure a roo.

These next 2 I am not sure of sex,
they all have yellow legs, these 2 have very tiny reddish combs and no noticeable waddles, but they do have tufts.


They are supposed to be 12 - 16 weeks old. Just not sure about them. One of the white ones is quite aggressive, trying to peck me everytime I stick my hand in the run...not cool, I keep a squirt bottle in hand.

I would say their EE's and you have 1 roo and looks like 2 hens

They are definitely NOT araucanas. Possibly EE's. The first is likely a cockerel while the other two look like pullets.

1st is a cockerel for sure but really need comb shots on the other 2 they look like pullets but really need comb shots

Comb shot, both of the white ones have combs like this, pretty red,but not as red as the roo and not double rowed like the roo. Thanks all!

Thanks! That is what I was thinking, are they just small chickens, I have Buff Orpington chicks that are 5 weeks old and almost as big as these are.

This is Houdini, Amy (the tufted one closest to Houdini) and Pipper. Still no idea as to breed but they should start laying soon! Houdini just started crowing this week.

You have a trio of Easter Eggers!

That is what I was thinking. They are nice chickens, Houdini has a knack for escaping so we finally told him that he and his ladies are free range. They stay right in the back yard, near the coop. I hope the girls start laying soon!
