Is this an Ameraucana, EE, or Olive Egger? Male or Female?

Really? Why do you say ?

 

[StephanieRose44]

Actually probably the same reason I wasn’t sure what the gender was, her legs are so big and long. I don’t know ‍

Do you have any better full body pictures? I could point out some things that are making me lean towards male.

Those look fine The two main things making me think male at this point are:
1. the red coming in on his comb
2. and those big feet, and long legs
I absolutely love his coloring.

The black one is a cockerel. That tall, bright comb at 10 weeks........

Hey-there is an article up above where a member is using old farmer's tales to sex straight run chix! Maybe you could try a few and let us know!

Thank you! Just to clarify the last two pics with the 3 others pictured are just to show the one lavender chick (Violet) the others in the picture aren’t any of the ones that I’m thinking are Ameraucana or EE/OE* The red one is an ISA Brown, The white in front is a Leghorn but the black one is another one I’m having trouble identifying (breed) if anyone has any ideas .

But no he wasn’t selling any Olive Eggers, he was selling EEs which is why I was thinking that maybe they got mixed up? Just because she looked/looks so different from day one I assumed the tan was an EE and she was an Ameraucana. She does have the ear tuffs but hard to see. I picked her because she looked nothing like any of the other chicks there and she’s amazed me everyday, she looked like a little baby barn owl when she was a chick all white/silver/lavender idk what color I call it, than started to get a darker color almost like a slate grey coming in on her head, than all the sudden she had this creamy tan color coming in on her chest. She’s just very interesting to me idk why lol but thank you ! ** if anyone has any idea what breed the black chick in the picture above is please let me know!!

Forgot to address gender - at 10 weeks, I'm not spotting any features that are blatantly cockerel so far. No red wing bars, or even obvious comb development. This is a representation of how most of my EE cockerels looked at around 10-11 weeks (note the other in the back, as well):

Ah, okay. I was referring to Cookie and Cleopatra, in case you were told they were Ameraucanas.

It's a lovely bird, to be sure. Most often, Olive Eggers are comprised of Welsummer X Cream Legbar, or Marans X Ameraucana, and Violet doesn't favor either. Green legs (which your lovely little one is marked by) are also a common Easter Egger trait.
