Hello, I bought a few Ameraucanas about 4 months ago but this one has a bit different color than the other ones (a bit darker) can it be a cockerel? idunno.gif

Looks like a pullet. Doesn't have the red shoulder feathers you see in some EE roos. Plus the comb is look like a pullet's. Boys will have 3 rows on their combs, with the center row taller than the two outside rows.

Pullet.

Well, the kittens aren't so cute anymore and the easter egger cockerels are in the freezer. Plus, I think offering them as "prizes" scared folks off! So, I'm still posting quotes, if you know it let me know. I'm very enamored of this new one, it may hang around for a while!

Going back home. No internet at the house, so I won't be online as much. Sorry for any RP inconveniences.
