Hen or Rooster: No eggs & No Crowing

[ThatTeowonna]

I paid $75 for three Americauna “hens”. So far, only one is laying. They should be around 6 months, but you never know. The white one I immediately suspected as being a rooster because of the red/rust coloring. The other, since she hasn’t produced the goods, I’m suspicious of her too. Since neither has laid an egg and I haven’t heard any crowing, I just don’t know. What say you?

Both are female.

Both are female.

I sure hope so.

Both are females but they are easter eggers not true ameruacanas

They are for sure. If they were male, they both would have pointy, shiny male saddles by now. Also, not all hens lay at the same time. I hope they lay some pretty blue/green eggs for you soon!

Thanks! I appreciate the correction.

Agree, both girls. Just taking their time to start laying.
