Ameraucana gender @7weeks?

[MixedFlock23]

First two eggs! (Yesterday & the day before)
I’d call it an olive green color... so I guess she’s not up to breed standards (& I’ll send a pic to the Ameraucana breeder), but I’ve always wanted an olive layer!

She mature beautifully!! Great updates! Will surely be helpful for other curious owners scrolling through

Thank you! So many threads just end short of an update & I’m left wondering. So, yes! I wanted to give a final update.

This was interesting to read! We just got Ameraucana chicks but they are way too young still to even guess lol, they're only 2 weeks old. So I will be on this same guessing game journey soon enough!

This is a great thread! Thanks so much for all the pics as she matures. I am watching my 7 week old Ameracauna now and I am really hoping for a pullet

But I'm worried he/she is pinking up a little already. Hard to get good pictures so not even going to post any yet. Lol

This was super helpful to me too! Mine are almost 7 weeks old and these progressions will be super helpful! Thanks!

Curious, are her eggs still green? I was reading that some blue egg layers start out with extra bloom and eventually blue out! Either way, beautiful bird & eggs!

Thanks! Good luck! I’d guess boys based on combs alone (3 rows) for yours, but I hope I’m wrong.

Yes, they are still olive. The breeder was quite surprised when I sent him pics back in June. Here’s the eggs from yesterday with no flash on the left, with flash on the right & a screenshot of my texts with a broken egg to compare inside blue with outside olive (blue with brown bloom). I’m still thrilled with having an olive layer even if she’s supposed to lay blue.
