Am I a rooster or a hen???

[bethbow]

I am an Ameracauna about 12 weeks old... My owner's DH swears I crowed. I am very dominant to my sisters but nice to people... Am I a rooster???

 

[txchickie]

That is a beautiful roo you've got there

 

[Smoky73]

That is for sure a rooster.

How can you tell? We are so sad b/c we will have to put him on Craigs List- we live in the city. This one was my son's chicken so he is NOT happy. So much for our blue eggs...

yes I agree, the comb is very red, and his tail is sicklein', hes not crowing or laying eggs huh? mayeb you should wait it out and see.?

 

[BantyRooster]

Definately a rooster. You said he has sisters, so why wouldn't you still get your blue eggs?

 

[bethandjoeync]

look at the pretty green sheen on those tail feathers, screams roo!! very nice looking bird. I would do like the others and wait for an egg or a crow before rehoming.

Yes, this is a roo. So sorry for your son. I know only because of the beautiful feathers and red comb. My EE girls' are 22 weeks and still aren't that red. Handsome Handsome boy, though.

You're a rooster! I'm sorry, it's very disappointing when this happens.
