New to BYC and Question about Sexing 8-9 Week Old Ameraucana/EE's

[AUR3B3L]

Hello I am new to BYC and chickens in general and am looking for fellow chicken loving friends!

So I would like to ask a question about some Ameraucana/EE that I have just recently purchased. First I want to say they were sold to me as Ameraucanas and if they are really EE's I don't care to be honest, so please lets not get into that argument here!

My main concern is sexing of the juveniles, because I have very limited experience doing so!

Now they were both sold to me as pullets and are between 8 and 9 weeks of age. I am concerned one of them may actually be a cockerel, which is fine, I will keep it if it is, just will need a name change lol!

Here are the best pictures that I could get of the two. Keep in mind NEITHER crow, and are not aggressive. Reason why I am questioning sex is color of comb, but all other signs from my research tell me pullet. However like I said I am not an expert so other opinions are greatly appreciated!


This is "Clara" the one I am concerned about.


Another view of "Clara" Best I could Get of Comb.


"Clara" and Smokey for comparison


Smokey and "Clara" again.


I really appreciate your help! And I look forward to hearing what you all think! I also look forward to making new friends!

Hi

Glad you could join the flock! I'm afraid I have no experience of sexing EE's so can't be of much help to you. I'm more than sure other greeters will be along soon and will be able to help you. There is also the what breed gender section of the forum you could post your pics in. Here is the link ~ https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/15/what-breed-or-gender-is-this

Wishing you the very best of luck and I hope Clara is a girl.

Enjoy BYC and all the chicken chat

(this is a you tube video on sexing 3-4 week olds... Maybe it will help?

The lighter colored one looks like a cockerel to me, it seems to have pointy hackle feathers, redder comb ,and in one photo a roosterfish stance. The dark bird has a paler comb and no pointy feathers.
