I now have chicken envy.

Just gotta show off a bit...pardon me This is one of my young grow outs. This is, of course, a Max son and I couldn't be more pleased. Of course, he needs to finish molting and have a tail again. lol

That green sheen is just amazing. Such a handsome boy.

At first we thought this Ameraucana was a pullet because the other cockerels were obvious, but now I'm not so sure.
This bird is the biggest of the group of 13 week olds.
Y'all's thoughts are much appreciated.

Stunning boy!

Cockerel...

PERFECT. I was really hoping he'd be a boy because the other one I was banking on has red leakage.

Did they all come from the same source?

It's sort of a long story. Someone bought hatching eggs from Susan. She marked the eggs so the person would know what pen each chick came from, but the person didn't bother keeping track. The person, myself and Susan did a three way deal and I got a small group of black Ameraucanas. They are all from Susan Mouw's birds, but we don't know which ones are from which breeding. ugh.

Edit - forgot to add... all of her black Ams (if I'm remembering correctly) are from Clif Redden and Paul Smith lines

I'm seeing some very pointed hackle feathers and hens don't have saddle feathers...so I'm thinking cockerel.
