OK I'm thinking rooster. Thanks for putting up those pics. This little guy had a comb coming in the first couple of weeks.
The feed store sells the EE's as Ameraucanas. Then again, I bought 8 pullets and this black rooster will be my 5th rooster out of the group! OMG
I think it's a cockerel to but my husband thinks it's a confused pullet that doesn't quite know what to do now that the rest of the big cockerels are gone. Wouldn't the feathering be pointier looking on the neck? When do Australorp cockerels start to get sickle feathering on their tails? Sorry...
Do pullets make goose honking noises? This one started doing it and only does it when our bantam rooster starts his crowing. It's like a weak, long, low honking. It's pretty pathetic. LOL
I purchased 8 Ameraucana "Easter Egger" chicks and came up with this one. It is right at 3 months old. What breed and sex do you think it is? Certainly not an Ameraucana! We re-homed 3 of the Ameraucanas that were definitely roosters and suddenly this one is making a long low honking sound...
