I would wait a bit longer since they're a bit tricky but with the comb redness I would tentatively wonder if it's a cockerel. Update when it's approaching 10-12 weeks old!

Only reason I say later is for cockerel-specific feathering. There have been a few very tricky British Araucanas posted on this forum that had to be sexed very late because it's hard to see the comb well with the crest so we had to rely more on male feathering. I have also raised a couple Schijndelaars (which is a breed who was derived from Araucanas) who were incredibly difficult to sex and I had to wait quite a while on as well! Solid colored birds make sexing very difficult!

Thanks for that info! I have not yet owned Araucanas. And i have never heard of Schijndelarrs i will look them up. I usally see some male specific patterns coming in at 8-12 weeks on most chickens breeds.

This is not a araucana. They should look similar to this ...either double tufted, single tufted or clean faced.

It’s a British araucana. The standard is different from the American ones.
