The AMERAUCANA thread

I would say your suspicions that this one is a boy are probably correct. I spent a long time trying to discern my Ameraucanas genders and both looked a bit like this at this age. The back tail feather curving down is a good indication that very soon the comb will start getting redder and larger and the saddles will be more prominent. Mine were born July 2nd and they didn’t look like roosters until almost Thanksgiving. Can you get pics straight on and also of saddle area? Those feathers should be visible by now, but you may have to look for them.

Did your suspect roo crow at all? I have one like this that was hatched first week of March. No crowing just egg song from s/he.

? I thought EEs do have muffs & beards. Not wattles. I have 2 EEs and they have muffs.

This was a year ago when i posted this.
some have none & some have it. It all depends.
Some also have just muffs, others have just beards.

Yes one crowed at about 8 months old and the other crowed at 9 months! They are seriously late bloomer boys! So I got WAY attached and just finally rehomed one of them Such gorgeous boys.

Help, this chook has me stumped. Almost 21 weeks, same age as the Fav. It has not crowed but does the chicken song often.

That’s definitely a cockerel

I paid dearly for this as a six-week-old pullet. This was the original order. The EE on the right ended up being a roo. While we're at it, is the Faveralle a girl?

I LOVE Ameraucanas! They are one of my favorite breeds.
I especially like the light brown ones with the golden and black neckfeathers! I used to have one. (What color variation is it? I never knew what it was called)

Definitely, if it was a boy it would have black chest and wings.
