We are Newbies! Are these all roosters? 8 weeks old. Many thx

[HEChicken]

Oh my, I changed my mind. I think Butter is a cockerel now too....

thanks. I thought so too. Bad luck! 5 out of 8 chicks being cockerels!

Featherz, your white rooster is very handsome! Here are 2 more photos of Butter. I imagine it will take a while
to find good homes for our "guys" so there will be time for all of them to show their true colours! I wouldn't want
to give away any hens!!
will

Sorry, I go with my original guess. At that age butter is 100% boy. EE - Three row red comb at 8 weeks? Boy.

Thank you all very much for your speedy replies! I'll take a better photo of Butter's head tomorrow and post it. "She" looks a lot like Featherz' rooster. I think they are all roosters! Which leaves us with 3 hens. Guess we are shopping for sexed chicks once we find homes for our "boys". Quite sad as we started with them at just 3 days old, we have handled them many times daily and we love all their different personalities. They would have been a great flock of pals. Ah, well. sigh.

So sorry to hear this. I just hatched 3 chicks hoping for a girl. All three I suspect are boys.:/ Both my 2 neighbors and I each picked a rooster from the sexed pullets. I picked a few straight run and was lucky to get all girls. I guess it's just pure luck. You picked out some beautiful birds!

Ok experts, couldn't the white and the black (unless those are red feathers in the wings?) actually be Amarucanas since those are approved colors? I've only had EE in obvious non-standard colors--but it always seems that the color standards are what people use to tell people that their Amarucanas are EE. Are there other obvious differences why people are calling that white one an EE?

The white one I suppose could be. Everyone tells me my white one (which was supposed to be a white AM per the egg) is actually an americauna and not an EE, but as I don't show chickens I just call them all EE's.
