Still think this is a Rooster ? This is the Brown chick from page 1.

Both this one and the black and white one are cockerels.

Cockerel. For your information, when cockerels get to their raging hormone stage at about six months old, do not let them on your shoulder for safety reasons (unless they still act really affectionate with you like they would never do any harm to you.) A cockerel who is getting changed by his hormones may start to see you as vulnerable, because if you let him on your shoulder, then he is as high as you, which means he could go even higher than you and attack your face when you least expect it. Then you are less dominant than him. You're not doing anything wrong, but I wanted to warn you about it! Cockerels are crazy, and they happen to almost always be the sweet ones when they are young!

Thank you for that ! I’ll make sure he stays low to the ground and I’ll keep updating the older they get for sure !

Are you asking their sex again?

(Not meant to sound rude, this is a genuine question!)

Haha no just showing the progression of them ! Still not sure in a couple of the breeds though lol

Pretty sure EE can’t be sexed this early but I have the 2 I posted most recently and one is all white the other is white with some other black and grey… they were in the same batch both labeled as Americauna which I know 99% they probably are not . But based off the wing length I know females tend to develop longer wings and tail feathers faster than males . Would love your guys opinions on these 2 as of 2 weeks old .

I would guess first is male and second is female.

The first seems to have a white wing "cap," the second has more defined feathers and well defined head spots.
