Pullet or Roo?

[MiniAcresFarm]

I have these 2 chicks hatched from a barred rock roo and a Ameraucana hen (I think). We also have an Easter Egger hen that could be a possibility. My Ameraucana is a wheaten color and the chicks look very similar to the ones online. I’m thinking the first pic is a roo and the second pic pullet? Last 2 pics are the possible hen mamas. Not sure which on.

Can you get a pic of the comb?

Sexing your chicks by the markings in their wings isn't going to work.

With pure Barred Rocks, you can sometimes sex them by the amount of white in the barring.

With a barred mother and a not-barred father, you can reliably sex chicks by whether they have barring or not (sexlinks).

But with a Barred father and not-barred mothers, both genders should have the same amount of barring (any variation in barring is not related to the gender of the chick with this cross.)

I think the lighter chick probably came from the mother with the white tail-- it looks like she's got some gene that dilutes black to a lighter color, and the chick got a lesser form of it.

I don't know which mother produced the darker chick.

No comb yet. They are only a week old.

then it is too young

Too young. Sex links only happen if the hen is the barred rock.

I'm not confident your "Ameraucana" actually is one, she looks like a non-standard color to me. @The Moonshiner, am I correct that she is not wheaten?

Of course you're correct.
That's not wheaten.

Thanks! Just wanted to make sure so I wouldn't accidentally correct the OP when I was in the wrong
