I'd say boy for sure. Pullets/hens just don't grow those kinds of feathers (with the rare exception of a hen with a traumatic injury to the active ovary which causes the inactive ovary to then become active and causes male secondary sex characteristics to appear as a result). At 4 months he may or may not be old enough to crow yet. I processed 11 Ameraucana and EE cockerels today that just turned 4 months old last week, at least one of whom I've heard crowing in the mornings the past week and I have seen attempt to mount my hens (which didn't work so well as one of the other girls ran him off!). Even though they all hatched at the same time (well, almost all of them, there were 3 who were about a week and a half younger) and had the same sire and grew up in the same environment we noticed that there was a wide variation in the size of the testicles while we were cleaning them.
I am sure this guy is a guy. maybe 4 months? not crowing smaller comb but is getting all the correct plumage.
his brother I got rid of started crowing a month ago
Is this three different birds? They all look like girls to me too.

This is my (hopefully) pullet
no, this is the same one at different ages, sorry i didn't make that clear! and that's what i was hoping! i can't have more than 1 rooster, and i already have an accidental rooster, so im really hoping this is a pullet!!!!!!!!
thank you! i am exactly the same way!
do you happen to know if she would be a blue wheaten ameraucana pullet?
