Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

Ditto!

I hope that when the sex of your chicks becomes obvious, you'll post the original pics and the after pics so novices such as myself can improve out sexing skills.  Thanks.

Can you tell if these boys or girls? I know the one in from bigger than the others is a boy but I can't tell if it is two boys or three girls. Help

Looks like 2 boys, 2 girls to me right now.

But then I had a girl that I swore was a boy until she started getting new feathers at 6 weeks. Was kind of disappointed as I wanted a boy.

Looks like one bw male and the rest are females.

Jean is correct, I also see 1 Blue Wheaten cockerel and 3 pullets.

my black Ameraucana 4 weeks old.


This is a blue Ameraucana - 4 weeks old.

Any thoughts on sex of these beauties? I'm new to keeping chickens and hoping for more hens than roosters, but don't know how to tell. I have one more blue Ameraucana, which I need to try to get a better photo of.

Ameraucanas are harder to sex than single comb breeds. Black one I can't be sure of but the bottom is a boy. He is also not a blue, he is an EE. Blue Ameraucanas should be a slate gray color all over. I have never grown out a blue Ameraucana that started out that way. In addition, he has green legs which means he is not pure Ameraucana. If you got them from the same person I would suspect the black one is an EE.

Here are the babies again

Jean do these still look like a boy and three girls?? (( praying))

I also still NEED someone who knows a lot more than me ( just starting with wheatens) to evaluate these for breeders I'm also just starting in Cochins but will post those somewhere else.

So here is the boy again the older wheatens came from someone here on byc

Here is the hen sorry about the sun glare
