10 week old Americauna, roo?

Change its name from Sunshine to Sonny?I think so! Today he flattened his back, flarred his neck feathers and chased our Lhasa-Poo across the yard.Now that was entertainment! Sick-um Sonny!

Yep that's a rooster.

Has s/he crowed? If not, don't be so sure. My Ameraucana was impossible to sex until she laid her first egg at 6 months old. She will flare her neck feathers and chase our dogs and cats all over the yard!

If it's only 10 weeks old and has a comb like that, I think it's pretty safe to say it's a roo.

I agree. My broody EE's comb isn't much bigger then that--and not nearly as red.

When he crows he has got to go! Our chickens are flying under the HOA radar. I am holding out hope it's a hen. I've noticed in other white critters their skin pigment is redder than their colored counterparts.Maybe that is making his/her comb more pronounced or is that just wishfull thinking?[

My EE hen's comb turned red at an early age and I said she was a roo for months. Only when she laid her first egg - on February 15th - was I absolutely sure she was a she

Do you have a full body shot? That might help. Sometimes 10 weeks can be to early for the classic pointed saddle feathers, but does (s)he have any?
