Araucana/Ameraucana gender opinions

[mpearce684]

My mother purchased 5 aracauna/ameraucana day old chicks in April of this year, 4 girls and 1 boy. She is beginning to question whether she got more roosters than she anticipated because she believes that she heard one of the "girls" crow. The rooster has grown much faster and has a larger comb than the rest. He also began crowing at about 2 1/2 months old. The chickens are now right at 4 months old. I am hoping someone else more familiar with the breed can determine if she has 2 roosters.

The white and brown one is the actual rooster.





This is the one that is questionable....Any ideas?

They are both Easter Egger cockerels. Araucana and Ameraucana are two separate breeds that are very rare. Feed stores and hatcheries commonly market Easter Eggers as Araucana, Ameraucana, or Americauna. No hatchery currently sells purebred Araucana.
In that bottom picture I can see 3 cockerels. Those long, thin, pointed feathers near the base of the tail are a type of feathers only males grow. The RIR is also a cockerel.

I agree.
