Hens, Roos, EEers? I have no clue. Your thoughts. Pic heavy

Yes, the EE isn't exactly a totally mutt chicken, it is a crossbred bird, the purpose being to lay colored eggs, so it always (sort of usually) would (most likely) be half Ameraucana or Araucana, or maybe even more, depending on what breeder developed the line (or what hatchery)... If you order from certain hatcheries you might actually get some of their designer "blue egg layers", or maybe a cream legbar thrown in there, or maybe some actual Ameraucanas that don't meet the standard colors. I know some backyard egg sellers that will cross them with say, Rhode Island Reds to increase the egg production. Oh, and all those disclaimers up there are because since there is no standard for the EE "breed", people are going to do their own thing (and sometimes their own thing is to lie to you about what you are getting).

These would be the 3 offending, believed by me to be, cockerels .

Any idea how old any of these chickens are? Just because they have red combs does not make them roosters. Look for pointed saddle and hackle feathers and curved tail feathers that point down. Your pictures are too poor to evaluate those areas completely, but I am not seeing any confirmed roosters. Take pics of side view closeup so can see hackle and saddle areas and tail. By 10 weeks, most roosters will have started to crow. In the meantime, go to hatchery sites and google the breeds these birds resemble most to see what a grown hen and rooster look like. I would look for Rhode Island Red, for one breed, maybe Welsummer for another. My Pet Chicken is a good place to go, they usually have a picture of male and female birds.
