Hi there

Please see photos of my two ameraucana chicks, they are 5.5 weeks old

can anyone tell the sex?
Many thanks

Try this. Sometimes it's hard to tell though.

Could you post a pic of her crown, I’m thinking male but I don’t know for sure.

Why is it you think they are Easter Eggers out of interest?
the farm I bought them from specialises in pure breeds

 

[Dippy-eggs]

Right lol sorry.
Then I'm voting both cockerels.

oh, I will be soooo sad...
out of interest what do you look for? So I know for next time

In these, the colour of the comb.
Some birds are easier to tell than others.
But update in a few weeks, might be easier to tell. I don't like sexing pea combed birds haha. They can be confusing.

thank you for your reply

did you see the link I posted from where I bought them?Do you not think my chicks look like these? (I was told any white on the black would fall out and they would be pure black)

Ohh they do look like Araucanas.

Ohh they do look like Araucanas.

I will have to wait and see how mine turn out,
Gutted if they end up being roosters
I will have to give them away
Thank you for your advice
I will post back on here once I know and with some updated photos

They could be Auracanas, but they aren't Ameraucanas.
But Auracanas are supposed to have no tail??

Yes they may grow out of it. But I’ve never had Araucanas so I don’t know for sure.

What did they end up being? I have the same breed and wondering the sex of mine as well comparing to your pics.
