Ameraucana pullet or roo?

Just wanted to make sure that this is for sure a rooster. Ameraucana 5 months old. Thanks!

Well, it looks like a pullet to me. I see no shiny, pointy saddle feathers at all. I actually have a splash Ameraucana hen, though she is over 10 years old now.

I agree, looks like a pullet.

Here's a better picture of the tail. Its the only one with this color of feather in the tail. This is why I was thinking it was a rooster.

10 years old. Wow! That's amazing

You have a pullet. Blue eggs are in your future.

10 years old. Wow! That's amazing

Actually, she is not my oldest hen. I have a black Ameraucana who is turning 11 years old next month and a Barred Rock hen who will be 12 years old in the spring. In fact, there are a few others from 8-10+ years of age- I seem to be running an Old Hens' Retirement Home & Hospice.

Here is my splash Ameraucana, Snow, though this is an older photo. She has bad arthritis now and is mostly crippled.
