Ok, here I go again. I got three araucana chicks at a day old, they are now about 15 weeks old. One of them is pretty obviously a Rooster but the other two I’m not sure. Thanks in advance. Mel

There are certain things to look for in a cockerel/rooster.
1. Neck feathers are long and skinny and not short fat and rounded.
2. Saddle feathers are long and skinny and not rounded on the ends.

See the cockerel/rooster below.

I believe that your second photo (No#2) is a cockerel/rooster and the rest are probably pullet/hens.

EDIT:

The photo with the pumpkin in it (No#4) is probably a cockeral/rooster also unless it is the same chicken as No#2.
 
Sorry the photos weren’t clear photo one and four are the same bird, photo two is the rooster (i think) photo three and five is the same bird (the lavender one). Thank you. I’m feeling hopeful, two pullets and a rooster would be fine.

I agree with you, 1 cockerel and 2 pullets.

dang... Then I think you have two males and one female.

No#2 and No#4 very definitely show signs of being males. No#1 is hard to see well

I dont really understand which bird is which, all the photos are jumbled up. Give me a maran to sex any day all you have to do is look at the wing colours and if it is dark brown/black it is a boy and if it is cream/light brown is is a hen!! 😂
 
Sorry they were lousy photos. Here is the two tricky ones together they are exactly the same age. 🤞
