Ameraucana...could it be a roo?

[Sillystunt]

Ok, so i got 3 ameraucana's from a friend and they were little so sexing was a guessing job. Might i say i love these chickens!! I am starting to think one is a roo. When my older ones chase the 3 amiga's , one fights back! It goes towards the battle, not away.

i also noticed it's a little bigger then the other 2.

So i took some pictures of all three, 2 i think are girls and my usual suspect

2 pullets

and my suspect, who has a slightly different comb

how old are they??? and the front one in the second pic looks very roo-ish to me lol but ya looks like you have a trio

here is my young ameraucana cockerel

sorry he is kinda ratty in the pic bought him that way

here are picture of all of my rooster 2 of which are Ameraucana

 

[Sillystunt]

they are maybe 10 weeks. The one in front (standing)has a different comb, more red and bumps forming. Still can't get a good pic of tail
It acts like a roo, very fiesty and runs to challange the older hens. I know this breed is tricky when sexing young

Lookin Rooey. They are so cute! He just looks like he has a attitude already.
The pullets will have one row of "bumps", the Cockerels three and pinker.

I've heard that too, but it's not totally accurate. Some EE pullets do have a 3-row comb, but the cockerels will have a redder, larger 3-row comb.

This is one of my pullets at almost 9 weeks (it's hard to see in the pic, but the 3 rows are very obvious when seen here at home):

This is a 20 week old pullet a few weeks before whe started laying:
