Sexing Araucanas and Marans (2.5 weeks old) Picture Heavy

[MommieHen]

Lots of pictures! The more, the better, right?

I need a little help sexing my chicks. Okay, a lot. I am pretty sure that, at least, one of the Marans is a rooster. The others I am not sure about. I am very new to this and would appreciate any help that is offered.
I got them yesterday (11/20/2012). They hatched 11/7/2012, making them 2.5 weeks old.
The Marans came from a Black French Copper Maran (Rooster) and a Blue Maran (Hen). She did say that the Blue Maran isn't accepted as a standard breed, yet. The Araucanas came from a Lavender Araucana Rooster and the hen wasn't specified as to which one. (I am waiting for an e-mail reply.)
We only have two names, so far.

1. Maran






2. Araucana










3. Araucana










4. Maran






5. Clucky- Maran (The one I'm pretty sure is a rooster.)








6. Araucana








7. Scruffy- Araucana








Thanks again!

It's still a bit early to tell. But I can already see that 3, 5, and 6 are early bloomer roosters.

to early but 5 and 6 look like cockerels already

2 looks to be a rooster also and 7 is a pullet. Araucana can be difficult to sex but typically if their comb is 3 very defined rows of peas its a boy. The ones with the flatter combs at the same age are pullets. Does not always hold true because I have hatched plenty of roos whose comb stays super small till about 5 months.
