Need help identifying my chicks gender believed they are 2 months.

[Kwaja]

I have 5 ameraucana chickens and I am a first time owner of them. I got them like a month or 2 ago from tractor supply. I was wondering if I have roosters and if i have hens too. I think I know what gender they are but I'm not confident if they are correct.

Moltres a.k.a little bit- hen I believe

Zapdos- rooster???

Charizad-rooster

Fearrow- hen

George/Georgina- idk

So I think I see 4 roosters if i'm correct the ones with the more red combs are the roosters.

Charizad and George are cockerels. Fearow and Moltres are pullets. Zapdos I’m not sure. Do you have a full body pic of her/him?

He’s a cockerel too. 3 boys, 2 girls ain’t a bad outcome though

Some breeds are harder to sex than others, EE's being one of those. Since gentics are mixed and usually unknown (unless you are breeding from your own stock) then sometimes it's harder. Most of us that have or have had EE's have been fooled on occasion. EE's are sometimes slow to mature, so waiting until you are really sure is always a good idea. Most people use comb color (very red/pink or not- based on age) and comb growth (single row of bumps or triple), feather coloring, particularly red bars on the wings/shoulders, and color patterning. Regular coloring all over vs spotty or quilted coloring. But it's part art and experience. And with mixed breeds, you can get some incorrect or weird combs, so the rule doesn't always apply. I have had some EE mixes with a single comb rather than a pea comb. Behavior matters too. A young bird that doesn't move out of your way, or is more dominant may be a cockerel. I've had cockerels as young as a couple of weeks posture at me when I'm cleaning the brooder.

Oh my goodness yes! I've got 3 (7wk) old orps that do this (and have been doing it for weeks) everytime i go in there. They are almost fully feathered and go out with the big guys. Can't. Wait.
But seriously, not all will do this. I've had some very laid back boys who just love to snuggle.
