Ameraucana Rooster?

I'm guessing you're on the right track, then. You'll be in here helping others with determining gender for their birds in no time, and the more of us the merrier!

You said it, Jed! We are always here to help!

I agree with those who are thinking cockerel. It just has a certain boy look to it.

 

[ColtHandorf]

I'd say cockerel as well.

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

Can you provide more details on WHY you feel it’s a roo? I was JUST planning on bringing an adult roo into the mix and if I discover that this lil one is a cockerel, I will be changing my mind pretty quickly!

I know I'm not the person you qouted but the jist of it is:
His comb pretty red, his coloring is uneven and splotchy, and his tail is big and fancy.

Almost everything about him.
Idk WHY people are saying pullet.
Big, red, three rowed comb; patchy color, gangly, tall stance, long, curving tail feathers, and I think I see saddles coming in.

Thanks so much to all of you!! It’s confirming my suspicions and although I can wait and hope for a different answer, I am lucky enough that I can keep this one either way!

Another vote for cockerel.
I have no doubt.

I don't think there is any chance he's a girl.... Everything about him screams boy. Lucky you can keep him!

That comb does look rather red for an ameraucana pullet, although possible for a mix? For what it's worth, this here is Curly at only 2 months, and I think his comb looks quite a bit more developed than your 3-month-old. I can't find a 3-month pic, but by 4 months Curly had full on hackle/saddle feathers.

Now I have six 10-week olds in my yard, and I've wasted a ridiculous amount of time staring at their combs. I know I'll know when I know and not before, but I still can't stop myself trying to figure it out!
