    Lavender Ameraucana and Olive Egger Both Roos?

    Really hoping at least one is a girl. Hatch date of 3/21 so coming up on 8 weeks old. The Ameraucana definitely has a bumpier comb, but the olive egger is also pinking up and is SO SLOW to feather. These two are the olive egger. And these are the Ameraucana Thanks for the help!

    Sexing Assorted 5-6 Week Old Chicks

These two were sold as "Ameraucanas" but I'm assuming they are actually Easter Eggers? They are 2-3 weeks old right now, and I have suspicions that...
