Morning folks!
Would love your insight into as whether this 8 week (ish) ameraucana (grey) is a roo or a hen.

Seems like the comb is pretty bright red, but their tail feathers aren't too curly (yet?)... but it might just be me and some wishful thinking!

What are your thoughts.... I can try to snap some better photos if needed too.
I should note that I'm only pretty sure it's an ameraucana too - it came from a blue egg, could be an Easter egg. If you know your birds, feel free to correct/advice on the type too!

Thanks!
Kim

Cockerel. I am not sure what you mean by curly tail feathers, if its male specific saddle feathers you are talking about I think they are generally only visible at about 12 weeks old

Saddle feathers don’t come in until later, but that is a cockerel
