Show me your Ameraucana chicks

[mediazeal]

I have three 5 week old ameraucana chicks. None of them have any comb development. They are all pretty sweet and not chest bumping with the wild Black Copper Maran boys.
Looks to me like 2 splash and 1 black in coloring. But I am wondering what Ameraucana chicks look like at different stages of development. How fast do they develop combs or any way of telling which are pullets/cockerels?

I'll post some pics when I get home but I would love to see pics of your chicks and older and what the little cockerels look like at this age vs the young pullets.

really I just want to see pics of your babies!!!

My son's 3 month old "Roadrunner". Not the best picture, but this girl is totally shy of people and this is the best picture we have ever gotten of her.

Roadrunner is GORGEOUS!!!! do you have any pics of her at 5 or 6 weeks? This is a pretty good pic of her. Chicken on the move....

Mine have no comb like Roadrunner but they are only 5 weeks. My other breeds of chicks seem easier to tell.

These are at 8 weeks old. They are all cockerals except for the 2 blacks and the one silver (black with silver colloar).

Here are the same chicks at 5 weeks old. The red in the combs was obvious by this point. Hens had no red at all in their combs.

What a darling little black head sticking out.
So I checked my three and none of them at 5 weeks have any red at all and no comb development.
Do you think I might have all girls?

Can you post pics of your so we can see? That would definitely help. I'm inclined to say that no red at all by 5 weeks would mean girls, but pea combs can be notoriously hard to sex, especially early.
