Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

[Pharmchick]

Is there any way to tell the sex of these 2? I posted the pic of the second one a few days ago but got no replies. The breeder that I got the eggs from said they are ameraucana. Thanks!

It looks like the top photo is a cockeral and the bottom looks like a pullet.

I think these two are both pullets.

I watched my Ameraucana/EE lay her first egg, and it's off-white/yellow-ish.. is this normal? In the photos it looks more like a light olive color, but it's much more yellow/very light brown in person. I know some of my Orps layed very light brown eggs to begin with, and they gradually got darker.. This is my one and only Ameraucana/EE so i'm not sure if they will do the same?

They won't be green or blue but yes it hey might get a little darker. EEs can lay all kinds of colors.

My BBS are 10 and 11 wks old. Some are obviously males. Others are just now pinking up a little and I wonder if that means they are late blooming males or if they are females. I have 2 older pullets but honestly don't remember how their combs developed.

Pardon the purple, their backs were getting plucked to bits, you are seeing remnants of blue kote. These are BBS, just not a purple rendition

The first one is a boy. The second one - also a boy?

Those birds are white. Yes the first looks like a cockerel and the second a pullet.

Quanie and her egg.

This is a comb shot of several of the juvies.

The one is obviously a cockerel.

The two blues with pinkish combs concern me.

See the top blue, it's head is down, you may have to zoom in - that comb has zero color and is no doubt a pullet.

Opinions on those two blues with a little color in the combs. Is this normal for 10 - 11 wk pullets? Would this be a far greater pink color if they were boys?

Looks pretty normal for a she. Are her wattles starting to appear?
