I purchased as 2 Americauna Hens, but they look quite different. The one in the front is larger, and I have seen her opening her mouth as if she is trying to cock a doodle doo, but nothing comes out.

 
Hi!

How old are they? To me, they both look like girls, but it's hard to be sure without an age.

Also, they are probably what are called Easter Eggers, which are nonstandard Ameraucana (crosses) offered by the hatcheries. EEs are my favorites!

I would guess pullets but I am far from an expert. I also have Easter Eggers and the ones I have which look like this are hens now. Also when I first got mine I was told they were Ameraucanas.

they are around 10 weeks old. They seem so different from each other, the one in front is bigger, and her tail feathers go up in the back, the other has fuzzy cheeks, smaller and her tail feathers always point down.

Thanks for your help, I'm hoping they are both girls. :-)
