Ok. I have more Easter eggers and would love some opinions.

They are 7 weeks old.

I went out and took their pics.

Terrible pics but here's a thumbnail of the sassy suspect, they're all a few days shy of 10 weeks old:
pic 1


And here's a pic of one of the other non-sassy, non-suspect hens:
pic 2


The third hen is camera shy, unlike my sweet rock hens who kept hogging the lens.

You sure can't tell in it in the pics but the sassy one is actually more beautifully marked than the others, and the comb is a bit pinkish, unlike the others, but nothing drasticly different. In the past, mine were always mild mannered and peaceful, but she jumps on their backs or just crowd surfs right over them if they're in her path, and basically runs roughshod over them whenever the mood strikes. The feedstore said they'd exchange her if she turns out a roo, but she's actually my favorite so that's not gonna happen. Unless there's something obvious you can see right now, guess I'll have to wait and see. Can you tell if pic 1 is a hen for sure?

Your feed store will do an exchange?? Nice, which one?

Hi, I hatched some “ameruacana’s” the chicks parents were supposed to be “Ameruacana” but I’m well aware they may be Easter eggers now. They do all lay the right shade of blue and have the fluffy cheek gene but the feather colors don’t really match SOP Ameruacana. I hatched some chicks from these bird’s and I now have some that are 15 week’s old tomorrow. Looking for some help identifying what sexes they are! The one chick with brown on the wings I suspect may be a cockerel but I’m not 100% sure (he doesn’t really act like a HE). Thank you for any help anyone may be able to give me!
