Ameraucana: Hen or Rooster? (born feb 21) just over 3 months old....

[cyrixlord]

I heard something sound like a crying baby or peacock last night and this morning and it almost sounded like my just over 3 month old Ameraucana was trying to 'crow' (a waaaaaah) sound. She (he?) has no spurs but the feathers seem kind of pronounced in the tail and nape (frilly and long). I live in a city and can't have roosters.

She only 'crowed' a few times and hasn't done it since 6:30 this morning. I'm wondering if it is too early to see if this is a rooster or not. She is high strung and a bit taller than the rest of my chickens and tries to be a little bossy but is otherwise passive with food and the other chickens haven't ever bothered her.

Ideas?

Yep, a lovely EE cockerel. You can see his long pointy hackle (neck) and saddle feathers. BTW, spurs do not a rooster make... I've had hens that have had 2 1/2 inch long, wicked sharp spurs and roos that developed little more than a nub.

Oh my goodness gracious. What an incredibly gorgeous boy! If I was in the country, I'd offer to buy him from you on the spot!

He is very handsome.
The EE cockerel in my avatar was the same age when photo was taken last year.
