The AMERAUCANA thread

I need some opinions on my almost 13 week old splash ameraucana, she is supposed to be a "she", but I'm having my doubts because of the tail feathers and red comb...let me know what y'all think

Can we get a bit closer to the comb? It does look rather red and those tail feathers are definitely not looking hen :S

I have a splash Ameraucana cockerel who looked very similar at that age

Some close ups from this morning... there hasn't been any crowing or bad behavior, and this is my first ameraucana, but I'm seeing 3 rows on the comb and for some reason "she" is screaming cockerel to me

Yeah I’m afraid “she” is not a she…that comb is pretty red and well developed. If it helps any, Splash Ameraucana roosters are gorgeous! Both of my Ameraucana roosters are very well behaved and took forever to crow and in my case—forever to redden and feather out saddle feathers!

Didn't really want a roo, but I guess we'll just wait and see if he stays well behaved TY

If youre going to have a roo, Ameraucanas are some of the best in my opinion! He’s gonna be sooo pretty!

Definitely a beautiful bird, but I really like the dynamic and relationship I have with my ladies, I don't want to lose that
