I think you have EEs, not whole Ameraucanas, there.
Because they're EEs I've heard that makes it much harder to tell, but I'd say the top one with the really dark ruff is looking a little roo-ish. That's a pretty big and red comb compared to the other two, and for only 7 weeks or so.

Pea combs are a little harder to judge by because your birds won't have a huge, telltale vibrant ridge that other roos might get.

they are EE's i just call them aracanas i think #1 is a rooster it was trying to crow today

#1-cockeral EE
#2-Not sure
#3-cockeral EE

 

[Tom Turkey]

so i probably have 3 roosters?

 

[Rosecomb-Ryan]

they all look like roos to me...

I vote all boys as well. And yes, they are Easter Eggers, not Aracaunas.

I'm almost positive that 1 and 3 are boys, but 2 looks a lot like some of my pullets. Good luck!

Araucanas are very different from EEs and very rare... they're not even close to the same thing. People on here get pretty touchy about the differences between the breeds (EEs, Ameraucanas, and Araucanas are all different, but Araucanas are REALLY different from the other two). You'll do best if you at least refer to them as EEs on this forum, otherwise you'll get a lot of corrections because people are very excited about real Araucanas because they are so rare.

And I agree with everyone else, it's extremely hard to tell the sex in EEs until they start crowing or laying. I have been lucky - at about 10 weeks old, one of my Marans roos started trying to breed with some of my EEs, so I know those are pullets. In a few more weeks, you'll probably be able to tell from behavior, if not appearence still.

looking again, I agree that #1 looks pretty male when compared to my EEs because of his large comb and redness in the face and comb. I can't tell with the others.
