Amercana roo or hen????

[bantamsumatras]

Very sweet rescues from tractor supply any help with gender is appreciated the blue/lavender without the dark feathering on its head I say roo but my partner says pullet

Are they the same age? I think they’re both pullets - what makes you think it’s a roo?

They are the same age tractor supply had them and they were pitiful so against my true poultry loving feelings I couldn’t leave them……the first one had a very cocky attitude when he was younger but now he/she is very very sweet. They are all five (the tractor supply chicks) very sweet but at first very flighty….. I was kinda hoping they’d be a breeding pair and maybe breed true but it’s clear they are EE or mixed breeds but I’m gonna breed them to my phoenix and Sumatra and see what I get….. imagine long tailed broody EE’s! Maybe I’m just dreaming but hey you never know if you don’t try!

I’ll try to get better photos and maybe you can see the comb better

They both look like pullets to me. How old are they?

I'd say that they're both pullets

Sorry I should’ve said they’re seven weeks I’m happy with two pullets the are both very sweet and pretty

 

[fluffycrow]

I agree, they look like pullets

Well I guess I have some girls to get eggs from! Tractor supply had them labeled as Amerucana but obviously not , but they are sweet and happy and loved which is all that really matters! Thank you all for your input! I guess if I get blue eggs we will know for sure but I’m saying EE as far as breed. At least they aren’t in that awful bin I found them in initially . . … again thank you all!

Easter eggers are my favourite! I have araucana but the blue eggs are paler.
