if i post pictures of my blue ameraucanas could you tell
if they are hens or roosters at 2 weeks old
i got some this week but dont know if there
roosters or hens

Probably NOT, unless you can take spectacularly close pics of thier combs. I've often heard that at that age if you can see 3 rows of bumps in the peacomb then you have a boy (per Speckledhen I think). I have found this to be true most of the time except in lavenders.

yes, I remember reading her thread on it-thank you for jarring my memory-I believe she had photos too

Ameraucanas are harder to find, not found at feedstores or hatcheries, don't have green or yellow legs, and aren't born looking like chipmunks.

Thank you. Oneday I'll find me some. I think everyone around here has EE's.

You can go to feathersite.com and look under chickens. Then look under Ameraucanas. There will be photos of Ameraucanas, Araucanas and Easter Egg Chickens.

Don't feel bad. I think EEs are great. And most people end up with EEs first when trying to buy Ameraucanas.
