I feel like I can almost feel okay saying she’s a she…but I’ve never had an Ameraucana or a pea comb breed so I just need confirmation I’m mostly safe thinking she’s a she! I got burned by my first birds and all my favorites were eventual boys so I’m super paranoid haha. I have two, they look exactly the same and like to square off with each other a lot. They also are the most friendly and most brave chicks I have. No sign yet of any saddle feathers, but it’s still early for those I’m guessing. I have read that the pea comb needs three distinct and fairly even rows and Fluff has a prominent middle row and two small side rows. Puff doesn’t have barely any pea comb bumps and is more non distinct.

Thanks for any insights to ease my mind hopefully haha. I just love their personalities so I fear they’re boys 😩😩

I say that because
1. Pullets dont square off much at all.
2. im seeing the befinning of some flirty tail feathers.
3. Three rows of pea comb almost always means roo.
None of these are accurate ways to sex. I've had some pullets square up and spar more than some cockerels. Also, what are "flirty tail feathers?"

OP - She looks like a pullet to me as well. No male specific characteristics showing as of yet. Maybe post updated pics in a few weeks.
