Hi, I want to put some of this in our backyard and wondered the same thing so googled it and found your thread. Did you plant this and if so were the chickens okay with it and did it grow okay with our horrible heat?
Mosaic peeps....this chick is 11 days old, not sure if 100% Mosaic but from your personal experience, would you say this looks to be a male or female at this age?
Hi there, just found this thread when looking up info for this breed. I'd Love the info on the breeder in AZ please. Can you please send their info to me?
I hope people with more experience can help here but, I am wondering if this lil one is "shrink wrapped" so can't get out. Google that and see if that's a possibility. If it were mine, I would pull a lil more shell off where s/he has already broke thru. Hope everything goes well. :fl
For anyone interested in learning what these 3 Ameraucana turned out to be...The black one is indeed a cockerel/roo. The 2 blue (gray) are pullets/young hens. :)
I don't think the waddles and the comb mean that's a boy. This is my Cochin Hen when she was about 6 months old. I don't know if that's a rooster or a hen though. The erect stance and shorter tail looks male to me but, I'm not sure what Orpington is. Only that's he/she is very pretty :)
