Turken x Lavender Ameracauna. Mother was buff colored. Cute, and ugly as heck!

Thank you!

Hello all! I have a trio of Lavender Ameracuanas, born 5/13. I’m usually solid on sexing at this age, but I’m having difficultly with these Ameracaunas. I’m confident on Lavender pullet #3, but I need some help now with Lavender #1 and #2. Lavender #1 absolutely acts male, #2 does not...

Chicks at 5 weeks. Chick 1 Chick 2 Chick 3 Chick 4
