I have five 8 week old chicks. I’m not sure if these are all pullets?
Typically I can tell with my Buff Orpington breed but these are a mix.
i have two roosters a French Black copper Maran and a Wheaton Ameraucana.
My hens are Cinnamon Queens, New Hamshire Red, Buff Orpington and 2 Black copper Maran
I have two questions. Do these look like pullets and is it possible for two roosters to inseminate one hen? They kinda look more like the Ameraucana rooster. Your comments are greatly appreciated. Also do pullets have ear tufts?

One hen can lay eggs that are inseminated by both roosters but only one rooster can inseminate each egg.
If your Ameraucana is truly an Ameraucana all his offspring will have a pea comb while your Marans offspring will have single combs.
