8 week old Ameraucana, weird hen or rooster?

[CosmoTheRooster]

Hello, I have 3 ameraucanas that are all more or less 8 weeks old. They were purchased as pullets from cackle hatchery. At around 2 weeks of age, one started showing more of a red comb than the other two. Now at 8 weeks of age this same bird(Lucille)is the only of the three with a three rowed pea comb. The other two have one row pea combs. My suspicion is that Lucille is a rooster because of the following:

• Started crowing recently
• Considerably larger than others
• "Filled out" neck plumage
• Dominance over others
• Somewhat pointy saddle feathers

Here are some pictures of Lucille and the other ameraucanas:

What do you guys think she is? I'm getting mixed results researching about this.

I'd find Lucille a new name. Maybe Larry.

What about Lucas?

 

[my sunwolf]

Wow, definitely a little rooster. I vote to name him Luke

Thanks guys, now the problem is that I already have a buff orpington rooster.

Oh boy, that's a little cockerel.
I vote for Larry

I just recently bought 4 French Black Copper Marans and two are roo's, plus my BO roo'. I hate to give up these beautiful Marans, what do you guys think?

Keep the Marans for sure, since your guy is an Easter Egger, which is not an official breed.

That's really what I want to do, but I would only get rid of any of my little guys if I new 100% that they would have a good home, and not end up someones dinner. How would you go about finding a good owner for these guys.

You can ask around on here...I'd take them but I can only have one rooster at a time and I'm pretty sure my Salmon Faverolle chick is a young cockerel.
