My turn! Pullet or cockerel

[wisecane]

Hi all!

I have my first set of Straight run chicks that I'm rearing and now I'm at the point of trying to decide hen/roo on some.

They were all sold to me as BBS Ameraucanas. 9 came from one place and 4 another.

The splash/blue are from a breeder (9).

The 3 black and one oddball came from another. The oddball is NOT an Ameracauna but looks like he has it in him (pretty sure he's a roo).

The black/odd is 9-10 weeks and the splash/blue are 8-9 weeks.

Anyway here goes:

Oddball: curious as to what you think he's mixed with. Blue legs, but feathered.

Black 1

Black 2

Black 3 note: this one has one striking white wing feather on each side, you can see it if you look close.

Ok now the splash and blue

Splash 1

splash 2

Splash 3

splash 4 left blue 1 right (oddball in back lol)

Splash 5

If it's too early to tell, i'll try again in a month or so.

Thanks in advance!

I is definitely a cockerel, maybe some sort of maran

They are all looking like pullets except the first one, maybe keep an eye on splash 1 because the comb is a little on the pink side for the age. Not sure what the first one is crossed with though.

bump for more looks

Oddball and Splash 1 are the only cockerels that I see.

Thank you!

I bought both batches as straight runs, and they're my first. All others were sexed.

Watching them grow and develop has been so enjoyable, and the suspense of not knowing who is who keeps my wife and I happy.

We're keeping two roosters, and I'm hoping to get at least one pure Ameraucana out of the batch. My wife has already declared oddball to be safe lol.

I see 2 Cockerels possibly, 1 for sure and 1 that is heading that way in my opinion, but as others stated, it's early so don't lose hope yet!
