Easter egger roos?

[Thtsalotofchickens]

I bought 4 straight run birds listed as ameraucana but I think they are actually EE. They are 7 weeks old so I know a little early but I see 3 of them with redder combs, and at least 2 of them tend to go at eachother often.
Just looking for opinions on gender and breed confirmation if possible!

Easter egger cockerels! The rust color on their backs/wings is almost always male specific coloring.

I didnt know that! Bummer- I was hoping for more hens but that's the risk.

What's your take on this one?

Same age? most likely a very pretty pullet . . .I'm new but have one that looks very similar . . .she'll be 10 weeks on Sunday . . . the picture was her at 8 weeks.

I think that 1 is a pullet. the 1 with the dark head I think is a cockerel just by the look in his eye.

Looks like a very pretty little pullet!

Most feed stores label Easter eggers as Americanas a fancier name for an Easter egger that tricks people into thinking they are getting true ameraucanas. It can be hard to find pure ameraucanas now because of the amount of people who lable EE's as Ameraucanas.

I was double checking my facts, so you beat me to the distinction, lol.
