20 wk old Araucana - Hen or Rooster??? (pics)

Hi there,

Let me preface this by saying that I am not familiar with this breed at all, so I am by no stretch of the imagination an expert!

What does concern me about your chicken (aside from the possible crowing) is that it looks like it has the beginnings of some saddle feathers coming in, a trait which is usually attributed to males only.

As I said - I am not familiar with this breed at all - so maybe your chicken's feathering is completely normal for a female Araucana....?

Please don't go and give your chicken away based in my opinion though!

I would recommend posting these same pictures on the "What Breed or Gender Is This?" Board. I am sure the good folk there will give you a prompt, reliable response.

I am crossing all my fingers for you, and will be very interested to see everyone's opinions. Good luck!

I agree the saddle feathers indicate rooster
Since this is an old post - what have you got?
