Hens or Roos?

Roo or hen? It's a Blue Americauna. Has not crowed at all, but it's bigger then my other hens.

That's a boy, he's got male saddle feathers. If the bottoms of the feet are really as yellow as they look in that photo, he isn't Ameraucana.

I think it's probably just the light, his parents are both Blue Americauna and there are no other breeds in the coop, unless the hatchery sent me Franken-chickens

First one is a cockerel, but the other two look like pullets for now.

Hi,

I hatched these three chicks 7 weeks ago. Can anyone tell if these are hens or roos? The mom is a Red Sex Link and the dad is a Golden Laced Polish.Thanks!

Number 1 is a cockerel. Numbers 2 & 3 appear to be pullets.

UPDATE:

Number 1 is definitely a rooster. He started crowing today! He hatched on October 17th so he is only two months old. We haven't put the new one chicks in with the rest of our flock but he must have heard our other rooster and decided to give it a whirl. It's the cutest thing ever!

Yeah, I was pretty sure he was before I asked. But the crowing so early caught me off guard lol.

Roo, the tail feathers are what says it.
