Ameraucana Rooster?

[RustyFenceRanch]

Hi Everyone! Newbie here and have a mixed flock of young hens. I have one Ameraucana that stumps me. It’s almost 3 months old. Is it a cockerel?

So far looks female.

no wattles, rounded feathers.

I think you have a girl. (and for once, someone that says they have an ameraucana has one )

pullet

That is a young rooster.
I’m very sure.

I have several votes for pullet and one for cockerel. For those in the know—can you help educate me on HOW you came to your conclusion? I have several Ameraucanas and Olive Eggers so it would help to better understand the sexing!

Despite what most people think, I'm thinking boy

The tail and dark wing spots look boy to me. Also in my experience with ameraucana boys the combs at 3 months were about that size and color.

I'm leaning toward cockerel.
At 12 weeks, that comb is awfully red.
I'm suspicious of the saddle feather area.

Ameraucana's tend to have tiny waddles- if any.
