Ameraucana 14 weeks male or female

[User680249]

I bought this 14week old Ameraucana yesterday and am curious about the gender. If anyone can confirm please help.

Looks like a pullet because of rounded feathers in tail.

this is hard. the tail suggests male, but I'm not familiar with the feathering and comb of this breed. I am used to Rhode Island Reds.

She is an easter egger, by the way, they are ameraucana crosses and feedstore/hatcheries sell them as ameraucanas

Welcome to BYC!

Looks like an Easter Egger pullet.

Sold by some hatcheries and feed stores usually under the name AnerIcana different then the true AmerAUcana breed.. still fun birds! Feather pattern does not meet the SOP, for starter clues to true identity.

The coloring of the feathers. If an Ameraucana bred from 2 Ameraucana parents does not come out an SOP color (color recognized by the APA) then it is labeled as an EE even though it's still technically an Ameraucana. True EE's are just mixed chickens that lay colored eggs, usually blueish greenish range and may or may not have the cheek flares and or beards. True Ameraucanas have both cheek flares & beards. Feet color is another indicator as well.
