Is this 11 week old ameraucana a rooster?

The BurkeGirls · Aug 4, 2012

We bought a pullet ameraucana chick (named Penelope, around 11 weeks old) but she/he is a bit different then our other hens. Penelope has longer feathers on her/his saddle and yesterday started crowing. She/he hasn't crowed since then but we can't keep roosters in the city so we would need to re-home him/her. There are no signs of spurs growing in but she/he would be to young to get those now. Can anyone tell is this chicken is a rooster?

Penelope is a pullet for sure.

Who else could have crowed?

She's definitely a girl. Their "voice" changes as they get older and they start making different sounds. But if it was definitely a crow, then it was someone else doing it.

our other two hens have laid eggs before and are definitely girls. Thanks for feedback though

That is an Easter Egger pullet. Not an Ameraucana, to be sure, but definitely a girl.
