Americauna Rooster???

[Lubbockgal]

Looking for opinions from those who know more than I do. I got these two pullets in January (hatched in November) and was told they are Americaunas. I wasn’t guaranteed a sex but I am thinking that at least one is a rooster. They are not overly aggressive towards us or the other hens but are to each other. No eggs yet but that isn’t a huge surprise since it’s been very cold. Any opinions??

Both are cockerels.

Both are cockerels, neither is an Ameraucana. The could be Easter Eggers but I doubt it. You'll not be getting eggs from these two...ever. Sorry

Thanks! That is exactly what I thought but wanted to confirm.

They are cockerels but also they are EE not Ameraucana's. The legs should not be yellow. They should be slate grey.

If they were hatched in November and you bought in January they may have been fairly sexable by then depending on what week they were hatched and bought. Even end of Nov and beginning of Jan would make them 5 weeks old. They would also would have had those yellow legs at hatch, this would have guaranteed they weren't Ameraucanas.

Not trying to start something with you and the seller by any means. But I get the feeling you may have been deliberately sold cockerels and were told pullets. You obviously weren't sold the breed you were told.

Yes, I am getting the same feeling. Thanks for the insight.

They are making it right so no hard feelings.
