Ameriflower gender?

[Jules929]

This one hatched 6.5 weeks ago. I haven't had this type before, so I wondered if anyone could offer some insight? Thank you in advance for your help!

Here it is with my BCM cockerel. They both hatched the same day.

Both are cockerels.

What is an ameriflower?

It is what My Pet Chicken calls a "designer" cross. This is their description:
Selected for extreme hardiness, for egg color, large egg size, and for their gorgeous feathering.(Due to breed genetics, ninety-four percent of Ameriflowers will lay a blue-green egg, and the remaining six percent will lay a light brown egg.) Plumage will vary, but will often be blue or have a blue undercoat beneath glossy coppery feathers--some speckled--and often fluffy faces with small crests and feathered legs, too.

Handsome Cockerel, you can see the start of saddle feathering

Rats! Lol. It was quickly obvious that the BCM, Marigold, was a cockerel, now named Murphy. Now Hussy needs a new name, lol.

No, unfortunately. The other Ameriflower egg didn't hatch. They were from an intense color egg dozen. If I decide to keep him, though, I have a cuckoo bluebar pullet that will lay blue eggs. That pairing might result in some pullets that lay blue/green, maybe?
