What gender? Barred rock and ameraucana

[McCray09]

help! What gender are my chicks? They are 6 weeks old. I think the barred rocks look like hens but the ameraucanas may be rooster

I’m thinking all pullets, but those combs are pretty orange...

All three are pullets. Barred rocks can be sexed by color from an early age-- cockerels have bigger white bars than pullets and are lighter in color overall than pullets. The Ameraucana is actually an Easter egger.

Thank you. Will the Easter Egger lay blue/teal eggs?

Easter Eggers can lay any color egg, but most often greener eggs.

Thank you! That’s so exciting. Can’t wait until they start laying. Do you think they all look like hens as well?

Pullets
You have a Easter Egger. They usually lay green, blue, or pink eggs. But every now and then, just brown or white.
