so yesterday i posted asking about my bantam and whether or not he/she was a roo. this morning we realized his "crow" had gotten a lot louder than his feeble, adorable attempts previously.
to my surprise, someone else is crowing now, my ameraucana. and it is pretty loud!
do hens crow also or have 2 of my 3 of my chicks turned out to be roosters?!?!

in the last one you can see him/her getting angry with the bantam.

thanks for all the help. i really hope he/she is not a roo, i dont want to have to get rid of one of them.
 
Sorry, that's a rooster. Also, not an Ameraucana. Ameraucanas don't have green legs and don't come in that color.

That's unfortunate. I guess I need to decide who goes.
Any ideas on what breed it is? This is my first time with chickens, so I was just going by what the guy I got the chicks from told me. Apparently, he was confused.
 
To answer on the breed - It is an Easter Egger. Hatcheries/feedstores/locals often sell "Ameraucanas" that are actually Easter Eggers, basically mutts that may lay a blue or green egg, but are not true Ameraucanas.
 
thanks for all the help guys.
i hate to get rid of him, we really enjoy his personality.
looks like my flock is down to two for now.
