Gender - 5 weeks. (Wheaten Ameraucana, Black Copper Marans, OE)

Meyer Hatchery in Polk Ohio, I ordered a variety of breeds for various egg colors and feather patterns/colors. My BLR Wyandotte from them is just gorgeous. I'm hoping my black copper Marans and ameraucana lay gorgeous eggs.

They do have pure Ameraucana, but only in Blue/Splash/Black. They are the only big hatchery that does label their birds honestly. What color is it? Blues and Splash cockerels tend to get darker shading on their shoulders.

The solid black ones and the solid white ones can be frustrating to sex. There's no variation of shading or this feather pattern is male to go off of. Add to the fact that some Ameraucana cockerels can be very slow to mature, and it's basically a wait and see if it crows or lays situation. Your's does look like a pullet for now.
