12 week ameraucana rooster...right?

[WAchickychicky]

Never had a rooster before...but 99% sure my 12 week old blue ameraucana is a cockeral. Correct? or is anyone thinking pullet? Would be happy either way!
No crowing yet.

I would check poultry facebook pages, usually people are trying to give them up for free or low cost. I got mine by getting hatching eggs and hatched this one with a broody hen. 50/50 chance every egg!

Cockerel.


ETA: I love him. Ameraucanas are just the best. There is no better breed.

With the three row pea comb and darker blue coming in over the shoulders I would have to agree that this lovely young chicken is a boy!

You have a handsome cockerel.

Thank you! He's a little charmer already, very concerned with knowing where his pullet 'sisters' are at all times, and very curious with humans. Just wish a few more of the other ameraucana eggs hatched as well, and I would get some hens to match.

At least I'll get ameraucana x Easter egger hatching eggs
