wow I wasn't looking at tail feathers I would of said the other way around, I've always figured the sex of my birds within 1st week not that I've had that many. these 2 birds are hard because they may both be roos I think the 1st 1 just hasn't developed his tail feathers yet

what color legs are ameraucanas (white) supposed to have? someone said if they have green legs they are ee chicks and my ee pullets do indeed have green legs but I wouldn't call the color of my chicks legs green more of a grey like my dutch bantam had.

My hatch is due today, tonight actually. By 5:00 am this morning, I had five buff Orps and Welsumer crosses out , with six more pipped. My other incubator has all the purebred Ameracaunas (15) and 4 pure wellies. I only have one Ameracauna and one Wellie just beginning to pip. I think the Ameracaunas just take their time, so be patient. I think this happened last year, too, but I'd have to check my records.

I hope those chicks start for you soon.

Ameraucana legs need to be blue or "slate"

Anything that doesn't look "Blue" to me, I call SLATE!
