Sexing??

[thunderkitty]

I found someone locally who raises Americanas (straight run) and soo..I'm wondering being a newbie to chicks (I have my first batch now only a week old) whether I would be capable of sexing them if I wanted to go buy a few pullets from him. He sells them at 2-3 weeks old...Anyone have advice on this quandary?

With Ameraucanas and EasterEggers, you usually can't tell the sexs until 4-6 weeks. The cockerels are getting bigger as is their combs. The combs are also starting to turn red.

Okay, thanks! Maybe I can make some kind of arrangement to get some once their a little older... then I'd be able to see this difference so I don't have to get roo's (which I'm not allowed to have.)
