Sexing Lavender Araucana Chicks Help Please

[Janechick]

I have 8 Lavender Araucana chicks who are 3 weeks and 3 days old. I know it is early to sex them but know that some of you are fabulous. We are desperate to know. I imagine we have 8 Roos
Here are photos of the first three. I think the guy with the blue tag is a definite boy. Thank you for your help!

To be certain of sex, I’d post more pics when they’re at least 6 weeks old, 8 weeks is ideal. It’s difficult to sex most breeds at 3 weeks old, unless they’re autosexing breeds or sex linked hybrids.

I know, I’m just too eager. I know some people can tell and was hoping for a little bit of expert info...

Agree they are a bit to young still.

Unfortunately I don’t think they can tell you much either. Araucana’s are a slow maturing breed so it will be a while before they redden up. Without the comb, the only way to sex them would be vent sexing, until they’re 12 weeks+ anyway, by then pointed saddle and hackle feathers should be starting to come in.

Still a bit too young post pictures at 8 weeks old
