What breed and gender are these?

[Leannehall13]

I bought 4 chicks from TSC. Two are barred rocks and two were supposed to be NH reds. When neither of the chicks turned red, I looked on the internet and came across pics of Americana’s or EE that looked identical to mine as babies. Are these Americana’s/EEs? I know they aren’t reds they are 4 weeks in these photos.

They were also supposed to be pullets and now I’m thinking since the breed is definitely not correct, then the gender may not be either. Can anyone tell if these are male or female? The first 3 pics is the same chicken and the gray one isn’t as photogenic. I’m thinking the first one may be a roo but I’m hoping she’s not because she’s my favorite and I can’t have roosters. I’ve seen where some people can tell by color patterns.

Two BRs and two EEs.
One EE could be a cockerel.

You are right, these are EEs

Both look like pullets at this age.

Thank you!! I sure hope so. I thought the gray one was a female because she’s smaller but the other is bigger and maturing faster. Glad to know they are still Thelma Lou and Helen and I don’t have an Andy and Barney

Americana’s are EE's. All birds pictured are pullets!

Give it a few more weeks and you’ll know with certainty.
