I know it's a bit early but what do you guys think? Sexed female from feed store but her tail is growing longer then the other two I have. When they were chicks the wing feathers were uneven and the same as the other two. My husband keeps saying rooster but that would be bad as I live in the city so I'm crossing everything I have in hopes she's not a he.
Thanks in advance!
 
So far it is looking like a pullet.

I see the red on the shoulders too, but overall she has more subtle native like coloring, rather than patchy flashy, and her comb still looks fairly small, so I'm thinking it's probably a pullet. Repost pics in a few weeks?

(Long tails at this age often indicate pullets, just FYI, the roos tend to have bunny tails while the pullets have longer tails.... At least that's what I've noticed with my chicks)

Edited to add: Also, that is an Easter Egger, not a true Ameraucana.......... Very pretty though!

Beautiful bird. Looks exactly like our girls did at 3 months, tho' they were pure Ameraucanas. Here they are at 15 months.
We are going to pick up two EE tomorrow from the same breeder, I hope they look like yours.
