Wheaten or Blue Wheaten Ameraucana? Hen or Rooster? Please Help!

[Eggcessive]

I just started raising wheaten/blue wheaten chicks this year. Yours looks like a blue wheaten pullet to me. Yes the legs will darken as they get older.

If she were wheaten she would have patches of black where the blue/gray is.

Wheaten, Blue wheaten and buff amers start out with pink legs and they turn slate as they mature.
Yours looks like a blue wheaten to me since she is so light. Definitly female since males would have a lot more solid black/dark blue feathers at that age.

fancyfowl4ever: that is just what i was hoping to hear, thanks so much!

i put my chicks out in the coop, the blue wheaten ameraucana pullet that i posted on this thread, and she always randomly flaps her wings, and she looks like she doesn't know what to do with herself, any idea why?

She is now looking like she has three rows of a comb, but i'm not sure, does this mean that she is gonna be a rooster?
