Hi everyone,
This is my youngest "baby" Lilah. We purchased her at 3 days old as a pullet. Out of our 9 chicks ( 8 different breeds) we purchased as all females we have found that our Frizzled Polish is a roo. He has scissor beak ( and we love him) so I decided not to rehome him. Now this one is making me question. She looks different from my other Blue Ameraucana hen who is a month older but not sure if it is just the gangly "teenage" phase. I have looked up lots of pics of Blue Ameraucanas and I keep going back and forth. Opinions from you awesome and more knowledgeable chicken owners is very much appreciated!

I'm thinking slow developing cockerel. maybe linked to the scissor beak? It's also a mixed breed--that's not a pea comb and the legs are willow colored, not slate.
 
It is another flock member with the scissor beak ( see my profile pic

) but I am not surprised abou the fact that he/she may be mixed. I know that happens a lot and sadly out of the 4 chicks I bought from this breeder only one has turned out as represented. Again, I have learned quite a bit in 7 months!

Still thinking slow developing cockerel, but I'd love for you to update us as crowing or eggs happen!
