18 week old Ameraucana ...hen or roo

[grnyzmx]

Hi everyone ..... this is my beautiful 18 week old Ameraucana named Noodle.... I purchased her as a day old sexed hen...... but I believe there may have been an error in the sexing ... what do you all think?

I could be wrong, but I'm fairly certain that is a cockerel

I'd like to see a standing, profile shot, but am leaning cockerel.

This chook confuses me a little....there is presence of uneven, patchy plumage, and what appears to be the beginning of male specific feathers. However, the comb isn't as developed as one would expect. I, too, am leaning towards cockerel overall, but a few more pictures would help determine.

Agree, this one is a toughy. I am going more towards cockerel though.

A pullet would have lighter hackles and saddle area.
Also if you look closely, the hackles are pointed.

Comb says female, but there is male specific feathering.
