16wk Ameraucauna Gender

[lmadeline146]

Alright so, I’m new to backyard chickens and this is my first flock. I’ve established all of the chickens genders except for one of my 15-16wk Ameraucaunas. I’m confused on whether Eggo is a pullet or a cockerel. Eggo’s very skittish and hides whenever I enter the coop, and our other cockerel is skittish aswell but doesn’t hide as often as Eggo. His/her tail is frayed and her feathers are curled upward on her tail. If anyone could help out, please let me know! Don’t mind our chicken run at the moment, we need to plant some grass. I’ve also added a picture of our brown/gray Ameraucauna cockerel below for comparison.

Are you sure? They have fluff/feathers around their faces and our breeder said they were ameraucaunas.

Easter Eggers are often confused with Ameraucanas. Here’s my article addressing some of the key differences.
