Americauna Chick - Gender?

Thread Starter 

I have hatched Babies and many have exibited comb male or female destinction....

This chick is one of my favourite.

She? is a the only grey Americauna chick hatched and she is very forward and loves to have her chest rubbed..... I do this to any chick that will come close enough to get one....

She is very forward and in my limited experience acts very Rooish... Chest bumps my hand and pecks me before getting her chest rubbs.... Last to run, first to investigate....upright stance.

Age: 6weeks

Breed Americauna

you can see her? brother behind has a much more distinct comb...

Her? sisters  seem to have no comb at all.(the ones I think are girls are the two in the front of the chick pile)

Any opinions on my little Blue Babie??

Thanks

Looks like a pullet -- might be she's just very alpha.

At the moment: 1 Americauna, 2 Welsummers, 1 Speckled Sussex, 1 Black Australorp, 1 Golden Laced Wyandotte -- which turned out to be a mutt EE with lovely olive green eggs, 1 Silver Lace Wyandotte, 1 Buff Orpington.
Have had EEs, Aracaunas, Hubbards Golden Comets, Bantam Brahma

 

Also: 2 Cats, One Tennessee Tree Hound, One Handsome Hubby, One Boisterous Boy and One Toddling Beauty...

Looks like a pullet. I had a BO who grew a ton! She was huge, but then stopped growing, and stopped being dominant. So that's probably what you are getting here. thumbsup.gif

 

It's the shape that makes the breed, and the color that makes the variety.

She's a pullet.  Last picture, far left is a cockerel.

Breeding Welsummers and Barnevelders.

 

Having an Icelandic in the coop is like having a 2 year old in the house - they are into everything and don't follow the rules.

I have zero chicken willpower.
