Is there a trick to sexing blue ameraucanas

[Floof]

With the blues, the males will often have darker blue over the wings. Though looks like you may have all pullets

THANK YOU! Finally something breed specific to look for! I'm not new to chickens, only new to this breed. Out of 13 birds, there's no way I got lucky enough to have hatched out all females. I'll take a look at shoulder plumage and see if anyone stands out.

Well there’s a 50-50 chance on each bird so technically it could be possible!

I wanted to update with some new pictures. I think from my black ameraucanas I've got 2 female and 1 male and I'm starting to pick out blue boys by their tail feathers. Their comb grown is still pretty unisex but some of them have longer tail feathers. Here are some of the ones I'm pretty sure are male:

My blue and black ameraucanas are about 3 months old now

Combs are the most reliable indicator before 4 months when saddle and hackle feathers come in. Both pullets.

Hi Aart! Are you basing that one the original pictures or my updated ones?
