Here you go, same age blue Ameraucana female first, then male. You can see what I mean about the comb differences. These were about 3-4 weeks old, if I recall, been quite a few years since these were here.

Thanks. I couldn’t remember.Not exactly correct. Both sexes end up with three rows of knobs/peas on the comb, however, males get theirs before the females and the redness shows first as well. Females have the center row of peas show first then both sides sort of rise up later. Also, the males' combs tend to be broader at the back end than females. So, it's really a combination of things.
Thanks. That’s easy to see. At what age does the female comb start to turn?Here you go, same age blue Ameraucana female first, then male. You can see what I mean about the comb differences.

Gosh, it's been about 10 years since I had Ameraucana chicks, maybe 9 years since any Easter Egger chicks, so I don't remember exactly. By a month old, you'll know.Thanks. That’s easy to see. At what age does the female comb start to turn?
