sexing ee chicks

[Megs]

so im growing out about 50 chicks (Australorps and EE, which are ameraucana X Australorp), this is my first time growing out ee, and at 3-4 weeks old i think i can start to tell males from females, here is a few pics of a few i *think* are males, but just wanted other opinions, i beleave the black one is 4 weeks the grey 6 weeks, and based on combs im not sure if they grey is male? i thought so, and it has large legs, but? i can post pics of more later

The grey looks female to me .. But i am not an expert

The top pic looks like it could be a boy...but i have no experience except looking through the BYC pages. The bottom seems all hen to me?

Black chick looks male to me
Blue chick looks female to me.

thx for replys, that is what i was hoping (that the grey was female), when it one was younger its comb was proportionally larger but it has not grown in a few weeks

hopefully this is the case!!

that blue chick came out of a a normal brownish ee and a black australorp roo! i was pleasantly surprised!

ok so i took individual pics of everyone to post for sexing

the grey ee i wont re-post, its 6 weeks old, the first photo im adding here is a 5 week old ee, and the rest are 3 weeks old. there are 13 australorps and 7 ee total.

5 week old

my best guess at this point is (also there may be 1 birds with double pics (but different pics) i have to go count how many birds there are again!)
