Americauna (I think) and Cream legbar I think- sex???

[Katsouth]

I was positive. We had all females, but the americana, pictured first, the biggest one is starting to look more and more like a roo. She/he is also dominant and a bit of a bully.

The cream legbar (mowhawk one) is sweet as pie and I’ll die if she’s a he!

What say you? They’re only about 8 weeks (they also seem big! Especially the americauna)

I'd say pullets for now. Post updates in 2 weeks

Both are female Easter eggers, just different types. The Americana is a traditional type of EE, and the other is a Legbar cross type of EE.

Both are pullets. First is an Easter Egger, and second appears to be a cross of some sort. edited to add: I agree with @JedJackson.

Both look female to me but that’s an Easter Egger not an Ameraucana

Hatcheries often sell Easter eggers as Americanas. Different spelling from pure bred Ameraucanas, which are a pure breed with only certain colors, none of which matches this bird.

Yup, I know but good that you’re stating it for OP who may not know.

A lot of us are stating it all the time. The hatcheries should know better than to try to deceive customers. Easter eggers are just as good as Ameraucanas, but they are two different things.

Yeah I agree. But unfortunately a lot of people still don’t know and get deceived by these companies

Easter Eggers are hybrid right? Do they all have fluffy cheeks or muffs?
