Araucana Hens or Roos??

[Mayfeathers]

Hello All,
Just wondering whether anyone can confirm whether these gems are hens or roos? Approx 16 week old araucana. Thanks

Well, he might be Ameraucana, nor aracauna. He's a boy.

That is a male mixed breed.

Thankyou. I think spellcheck took over there, glad you knew what I meant. They are 2 different ones, so you think both boys? I have another which is definitely a hen (very tiny comb and wattle so far) but these 2 are bigger than her so I wondered.

Both boys.

I hatched them from fertile eggs and was “told” they “should” be Ameraucana- not that it matters, just means I will build a special bachelor pad for them if necessary.

How many hens do you have? (counting pullets)

They are both cockerels, and they are not pure. They have crests.

In that yard I have 1 rooster and 5 hens.

Then yes, you'll need a bachelor coop, or LOADS more hens. It's great that you're allowed to keep them, though!
