Ameraucana Chicken

[mdonn89]

Can anyone tell me if my Ameraucana chicken is male or female? It's about 10 weeks old now, and I don't know how to figure out it's sex.

I am honestly not sure but I'm leaning cockerel.

Agreed. She’s pretty

Thank you all! I was told she was an Ameraucana when I bought her, but as she's gotten old I wasn't so sure. I'm glad to hear she's a pullet though.

Some people mistakenly call Easter Eggers Ameraucanas when they really aren’t the true Ameraucana breed. That’s what happened with some chickens I got. They were advertised as Ameraucanas but turned out to be Easter Eggers (which are essentially mixed breeds that are supposed to lay colorful eggs).
