Chirping
First time chicken raiser here. I raised this Ameraucana as a several day old chick in mid March, this week is week 12. She grew much larger than all the other 4 chicks (2 Speckled Sussex, 1 Polish crested, 1 Barnevelder) and is now the most dominant of the flock but not mean, just seems more dominant, sometimes has her wings on the other birds while roosting, things like that. So I started wondering if SHE was a HE a few weeks ago (sold to me as female BTW, not straight run) by feathers. The comb did turn red sooner than the others, but they aren't all the same breed. For the life of me I can't see if the hackle feathers are pointed or not but the tail is curving down and has some gorgeous iridescent blue/green feathers. Can anyone offer opinions here by these photos? Thanks!
