Sexing Ameraucanas and Black Australorps

[thatpeg]

Hi All,
I purchased 4 Ameraucanas and 2 Black Australorps, sexed female as day-old chicks 10 weeks ago. The Ameraucanas all look so different, I've got a feeling there is at least one rooster in the bunch. And one of the Black Australorps seems to act pretty aggressive and its comb & wattle are so much bigger than the other's. What do you think?

I'm not sure about the EEs but the one aussie with the big red comb is definitely a roo.

First easter egger may be a boy, patchy coloring. Could be slow maturing.
Others appear to be girls based on pattern

Yep, mature hens laying eggs will have large combs. But at ten weeks, that is a rooster.

The first easter egger may be a roo, post again in 3 weeks or so.
The other easter eggers are pullets.

OK, thanks. I'll post more photos in a few weeks!

All the EE's are pullets for sure....the first Aussie is a cockeral.

ee's look to be all pullets and the one assui in the first pic with big red comb and wattles is a cockerel

Thanks everyone for your input. I feel much better now! Looking forward to those blue green eggs!
