Hello all, figured I would go for second opinions here before I send these teenagers off to their new coops. These last 4 are 9 weeks old and no one is talking....yet. thanks for the help, the pics are numbered and the below breeding descriptions match those numbers. (Roo/hen, any x is the known cross of said hen or roo)
1. Blue ameraucana/speckled sussex
2. Black Polishxblue ameraucana/blue laced red wyandotte
3. Olive egger (blue ameraucana/black olive egger)/golden cuckoo maran
4. Olive egger (blue ameraucana/black olive egger)/splash maran

1 and 2 are cockerels. 3 is raising suspicion for me because of the coloration. 4 i'm pretty sure is a pullet. In my experience ameraucana based easter egger pullets can go through a phase where they have long tails that can even curve slightly. Several of mine have gone through such a phase. It generally molts out into a more typical pullet tail after a few weeks though
