Oh, I wasn't questioning your assessment of the wheaties, Jeremy! They are girlies, for sure! Just interesting that one has her comb "pinking up" while the other is still flat and white. Wow, who knew this breed was a wee bit tricky! And my non-expert opinion loves your Hoyt! Wowie! Handsome guy!

Thanks, BarnGoddess01 who wrote:
"The girls' combs do pink up eventually and some can even get rather pronounced, in my experience.
I vote pullet on your questionable one (I really would expect more comb development in a cockerel by 10 weeks) and look forward to hearing what he/she proves to be in the end!"

I will let you know about the boy/girl thing. I will hope you are right. The combs on the Silvers look so different from the Wheatons, which look different from the Lavs...ARGH! At least the White is easy to tell!

Here are my Silver chicas:

Yes, hatcheries and thusly feedstores do not have true Ameraucanas, they just call them that. Some even put up signs that say Ameraucana/ Araucana. The only true Ameraucana chicks that have chipmunk type stripes on their backs are silvers, and that's the wrong color chick to be a silver.

is this an EE or an ameraucana?

Araucanas are rumpless. They have a thread as well. She would make a good layer hen.

From what I have read there is not a show category for EE. Breeders can tell for sure by looking at the bird if it is Ameraucana, Aracauna or EE.
