Much too early to tell, but they sure are cuties!

I figured the RIR are the only ones that have cones my Amerucanas don't have any right now.

If the combs stay small and yellow then you have pullets. Cockerels will grow large and red before 10 weeks.
Your amerucanas will be the same way.

You probably can see the RIR combs cause they have single combs, while the AM/EE has pea comb so it's not as noticeable yet. Post again at 6 - 8 wks

I would like to guess, 1st photo= pullet. 2nd and 3rd photo, they look like Cockerels. 4th pic. ? but lets say Pullet, 5th looks like a pullet. last picture ? leaning Cockerel as well. Let me know later how I did.

I'm a crazy chicken lady that likes to sit for long periods of time watching and observing my chicks . I don't know if it's gut reaction, or from my OCD of research and observing, but I can usually sex mine before the 6 weeks. I already have suspicions on 2, maybe 3, of my almost 2 week old chicks. If yours are same breed you can compare the chicks to each other with comb development, feathering, and behavior! Keep us updated!

I have two Easter eggers. They are from the same hatch. Just over 2 weeks old. Their tails are growing in different directions. Is this a indication of sexing?

 

[ChickNanny13]

Beckychick11 2wks are pretty young, tails are not an indicator of sex. Comb/Wattles are the first indications, color/size. You could post picture when they're 6 - 8wks.
