New to chickens, need help sexing chicks!

[AggieGirl09]

Hi! I got my first 4 chicks about 6 weeks ago and I bought them from a hatchery as pullets but I'm about 90% sure at least one is a cockerel (last 2 pics

). Two are Black Australorps and two are Easter Eggers/Ameraucana. What do y'all think??

That one with the red combs tail sure is standing upright and legs are pretty thick...might just be maturing faster. 2 more weeks n you will know for sure. Hatcheries usually guarantee 90% correct sexing so a little cockerel may have snuck in.

Oh...BTW

That rose-comb on the rooster/suspect is too big to be the rose comb of a female.

 

[BlackHackle]

That rooster ain't pure bred...I didn't know hatcheries sold crossbreeds

 

[BlackHackle]

I guess they sell Easter Eggers...duh. LOL

Check his hackel and saddle feathers...if they are shiny, he is a for-sure-rooster.

Thanks! Any ideas about the other 3? Or is it too early to tell?
