Another Rooster?????

[busybratgirl]

This is Bumble. My Husbands goofy Chicken. We love her to pieces. I was snuggling with her today and noticed green irridescent color on the black bars of her tail feathers. We are pretty new at this so help is greatly appreciated.


What do you guys think??

I think it's probably a rooster. White Ameraucanas (isn't that an Ameraucana) have a higher percentage of roosters.

not sure about an ameraucana. We thought so because of her look...We have another one in a pretty silver color. same cheeks but a hen for sure.

Some Ameraucanas can be tough, I might wait a few more weeks and see.

Bumble looks like a rooster, but I have never had an ameracauna before so, I am estimating genral chicken signs of a rooster. Snugglebug is more likely to be a hen. If you want to estimate your self here is some sings chickens will be roosters:

Tall Red Comb
Long Red Waddles
Long Curved Tail
Moody Fighting Behavior (sometimes)
Crowing (sometimes hens will crow, none of mine do though)
Flock following Rooster most of the time

That is what i thought as well. We have two for sure roosters already. We are rehoming one. He tried to crow this morning..pretty funny

My other Rooster chickmunk is not a very roosterly roo...yet. He is a big sweetheart. so is Bumble. Brandi is very dominating and is going to a new home. I'm thinking Chickmunk and Bumble will be ok together. One thing I noticed about Bumble and snugglebug is that they honk like geese..soooo funny.
