Blue Wheaten Ameracauna Hen/Roo??

[TheLittleRedHomestead]

Of the six Blue/Wheaten Ameracauna hatching eggs I incubated, this is the only one that hatched and I love this bird! I honestly don’t care if it’s a hen or roo, I’m just curious because I’ve never had this breed or color to know. Any ideas?? No established comb compared to the very obvious roos in the brooder that hatched same time, but wasn’t early to develop tail feathers either. Seems dark to be a hen for the blue/wheaten though, yeah? Hatched 03/17/23, Thanks!

Too early to say for sure. Tail feathers don't mean anything at this age. Try again in 3 weeks.

It's a female Easter egger. Definitely not a blue wheaten Ameraucana.

This is a wheaten Ameraucana, for reference.

Sorry, but I have to agree with Jed. But there's upside!

1) SHE is going to be a beauty even if she's not a wheaten ameraucana
2) You have 100% pullets from your hatch

Genuinely curious because I’ve only ever had brown laying heritage breeds? My chick is from a purebred Ameracauna flock. Roo is pure wheaten, hens are pure blue, blue/wheaten, wheaten, and red/brown. So obviously it’s possible that’s it’s not pure wheaten. But does that make it and EE? I thought EE was a cross between breeds for different egg colors? I’m more interested in why you say pullet? Thanks!

Chick is from a pure, but mixed color Ameracauna flock. Guess I should have said that Roo is pure wheaten, hens are pure blue, blue/wheaten, wheaten, and red/brown. Curious why you say pullet though?

Flat yellow comb, and her hackle feathers just forming where her neck meets her shoulders are rounded. A male this age would have some pinking/redding on the comb, and narrower hackle feathers.

Really stumped on the coloring though, WheatenX any of the colors above would not result in the pullet you have. As long as you're not wanting to have a purebred program it really doesn't matter- she's a pretty, healthy looking pullet.
