They're a little young at 4.5 weeks and difficult because half of them are pea combs but we'll give it a shot and try again in a few weeks I guess. I will include my guesses. We will start with the pea combed Ameracaunas.
Chick #1
My guess is male. His comb is a little bigger than the others and has 3 rows, but it isn't very pink yet.
Chick #2 I am thinking girl. The comb on this one only has one row and is pretty flat and colorless.
Chick #3 Thinking male? Hard to tell.
Chick #4 - thinking male here. 3 rowed, thicker comb that is pretty pink compared to the others.
Chick #5 Thinking female. One row, smaller comb that is yellow
Chick #6 Pullet? Hard to say.
chick #7 I am guessing male based on the color of the comb and I think it has 3 rows.
That's it for my pea combs! I have 2 different breeds or crosses that are not pea combed. Here is the first breed/cross. I hatched these eggs that I bought from the farmer's market and found they were fertile. I bought them mostly to keep my ameracauna eggs company in the bator and to hopefully provide me with some nice brown eggs. I wanted blue and brown layers. So here is the first breed/cross. These are stumping me. Several of them feathered MUCH slower than the others but other than that, all their combs and stuff look the same to me. There is one that has some pointy feathers I think and I will point that out when we come to it.
Chick #8 I am guessing pullet because she was a faster featherer and that's all I am really going on.
Chick #9 I'm not sure from the pics if this was a faster featherer or not.
Chick #10 No clue other than it was one of the faster feathering ones I think so...female?
Chick #11 Guessing male. His feathers are pretty scraggly...
Chick #12 I am going with Male. This is the one chick that seems to have some pointy feathers on his neck. Also I believe he was a slower featherer.
Now for my second red chick breed/cross. These are decidedly different than the other red chicks.
Chick #13 WOAH look at that comb. He's got little wattles too. Male.
Chick #14 Big ol red comb and wattles. Male.
Chick #15 Tiny yellow comb, no wattles. Female.
And here's a picture of where they went after each picture was taken to make sure we didn't do anyone twice lol.
