10 Week Old Americauna Sexing

[Ssammi17]

Anyone want to help me sex these Americaunas? One is a white and I was told the other is a silver, but almost looks blue to me? What are your thoughts? 10 weeks old. I know they are particularly hard to sex, but thought I’d see if anyone sees anything I don’t.

They look like pullets to me.

Both are 100% cockerels. They have pointed feathers. One is lavender, the other blue

I am still unsure as I have mixed reviews. Here they are two weeks later are those saddle feathers I see coming in on the blue?

Pointed as in pointed saddle feathers or the curved tail? Thanks so much for your reply!

As I said before, both are definitely cockerels. They have visible pointed saddle feathers

I primarily focus on saddle and shoulder feathers. Tail and hackle feathers are misleading. The tail feather sickles take months to develop and by that point, there are so many other secondary characteristics that it’s useless in my experience

It’s July now… any crowing? Do you know for sure the sex now? I keep looking at your pictures but can’t tell that the saddle feathers are pointed. Can you please post updated pictures?

I’m guessing these were both boys based on their combs. Here is my 12 week old “Ameraucana” (EE). You can see how much smaller/paler her comb is.
