Hello and Welcome To BYC! You might like to post in the What Breed/Gender forum for more imput https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/15/what-breed-or-gender-is-this How old are they? That color pattern in EEs usually means female, they all do look like pullets so far.

I have two that I know for sure are roosters, I'm going to keep my black Australorp roost but not the golden sex link rooster. Not sure about these two, they are suppose to be Amerucana but I think are EE.

I hope so, thanks for the reply. If you had to choose between an Australorp or sex link rooster which would you keep?

Welcome to BYC!

Definitely post this pic in our What Gender section for help with the sex. As for Australorps, they are very high on my list of must have in your flock breed!! They are very docile, friendly, great layers, very hardy over all and love attention. My girls are huge on lap sitting and just love human contact.

Enjoy your flock and welcome to ours!

Welcome to BYC. You have EE pullets. If both roosters are equal in temperament, I would keep the Australorp; otherwise, I would keep the least aggressive/obnoxious.

Thanks for the reply. The Australorp is my first choice, too. He crowed three time this morning. It's his second attempt at crowing.
