Ameraucana Male or Female?

[KHoward]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if this is a male or female? I think it's a she based on the last picture listed from a website. The reason I ask is that she is making a "dying goose" crowing sound occasionally. She is about 15 weeks old. We don't have any Roo's and can't have one where I live, so I am hoping she is a she....


These are photos of my bird:

This is a photo from a website as to what an Ameraucana Hen can look like:

Sorry.... boy. Cute, though!

i also think it is a boy

 

[KHoward]

Oh no...how can you tell? I thought it looked a lot like the hen in the last photo? No?

Male. Shiny saddle feathers hanging off the back near the tail are the clincher. There are other signs, but that is the main one.

Sorry but you have a boy on your hands

I don't suppose I could teach him to crow with his "inside voice" or that Ameraucanas are really quiet crowers?

<sigh> I need a drink...

Yup, it's a boy.
