Ameracaunas...cockerals I'm thinking!

[FrankiesMom]

I dont' have pictures to put up just yet, but three of the four Ameracaunas I hatched recently 'sprouted' beautiful, long, arching feathers or the tight fans that normally make up their tails.
I'm just guessing here but... cockerals? There is no sign of saddle feathers yet (9 wks). Just these nice, long feathers.
Of course, it's the one remaining one that is known to be stand offish......sigh.

Post some pictures. Pullets tails will curve a bit. The differences are usually apparent in the combs by 9 weeks.

pics?

As requested...

The top three (two white, one black) are my suspects... the final picture is of the only pullet. I think.

Oh...and I read that it might help for you to know - the first three were extremely friendly and curious (and easily trainable!) while the fourth is more of a loner. Go figure!

First white one is a cockerel. Black is a pullet. Last white one is a pullet.

Ok - what about the third one? Anybody else have a guess? I'd like to put the cockerals up for sale asap...

 

[FrankiesMom]

And thanks...!

Ooops...I mean second one!!

How many birds are there? I thought the first and 2nd picture were the same bird - if not, they are both cockerels. The rest are pullets.
