Can someone take a peek at this black Ameraucana? We had 4, and were certain that 3 were roosters, but this one has been puzzling me. It doesn't seem to have the same tail feathers as the other ones. They are 5 months old.

My guess--as a very new person to chickens!--is cockerel.

Thanks- that is what we thought, but like I said, he looks more 'immature' from his other hatching brothers.

I bought some Blue Wheaten Ameraucana hatching eggs from a BYC member, and between awful shipping and incubator troubles, I ended up with one lone baby. Of course, I knew he was a cockerel right away--huge comb right out of the egg! I bought him some Brahmas as companions. As he's grown up, his coloring just doesn't look right to me. Isn't he supposed to be sort of red/mahogany in the hackles? Is this blonde mane something that can happen in tainted stock, kind of like gold leakage? I will try to get a better photo over the next few days. I paid so much for pure eggs, and to have him be yet another EE (I have about 40 as my layers) would be pretty frustrating.
