one Ameraucana (roo) and one Barred Rock hen fly up and get on my shoulder in about 5 seconds when I open the brooder cover. This happens every time, meaning when I put a feeder, waterer, etc. LOLSoooo one ameraucana flew out the top of the brooder today when I removed it. Three feet easily!
I am not sure Light Sussex can be identified this early - if I just by how fast feather grow, I'd have only 1 hen out of 5. But who knows
I have heard that true Ameraucanas can be identified at ~3 weeks by looking at the comb - 3 rows means roo, 1 row means hen. I am looking at mine, and they are hard to tell, but 1 is definitely 3 rows, and he is the biggest. The other one is difficult, but he is fighting / challenging everyone. The 3rd is very small, hoping it is she.
