Ameraucana- Rooster or Hen?

YES, absolutely. No hen has pointy saddle feathers hanging off the back like that. 100% definite, believe me. Also, wide red comb.

I have an easter egger roo 7 months old and still not crowing.... be thankful!

I'm hoping he's mute!

If it is a rooster. { Note, Still saying IF it is a Rooster} When should it be getting interested in the Hens.

I'll PM you about posting pics. Then you can post them in a new thread here in the breed/gender category and someone is sure to help ya out.

That varies widely amongst roosters and whether or not you have another rooster, an alpha, keeping him from it.
Is there some reason you can't have a roo? Like are they prohibited where you live?

Oh wow... that's a roo if I ever saw one! He's going to be beautiful, too!

If it is a rooster. { Note, Still saying IF it is a Rooster }

I'll bet you $1000. And I'm sure everyone else on this thread will, too.​

PS I see you're in Perris. If you can't keep that rooster, I know someone who may take him in Norco. You won't get any money for him, but she'll find a home for him. PM me if you want her email address.

He looks like a roo, mine is 7 months old and hardly ever crows..
Can you post pics of your coop? It looks beautiful....

 

[ThornyRidge]

he is still fairly young.. and maybe learning his crow.. I have roosters however that are several years old and don't crow at all!! That makes it nice when you have an abundance of them like me.

As with all children, they develop at different rates. He may already be interested in the hens, but you're just not seeing it happen. And maybe he'll wait till later, just like he's waiting to crow. I have a Delaware cockerel who is going on 17 weeks old-he hasn't mated any girls in my presence nor has he ever crowed. He's very definitely a rooster, though.
And I've had a sexing mistake from the hatchery myself, a Lt Brahma sold as a pullet. I kept telling the feedstore owner it was a cockerel and when I brought him up there to sell, he started crowing.
