Hi! Here is my 8 week old baby. Hatched from my Ameracauna rooster and Ameracauna hen. I’m trying to determine if this one is female or male please? I thought female (comparing her to her sibling that is definitely male), but those pointy droopy tail feathers are starting to make me second guess. Thank you!

Welcome to BYC!

Looks like a pullet from the color pattern. Though a comb shot would help confirm that.
Male specific feathering doesn't come in until about 12 weeks old, so those tail feathers aren't an indicator of a male.

Thank you! The first picture below is the one I’m questioning’s comb vs hatch mate/sibling in 2nd picture’s larger redder comb (the one I’m sure is male).
