araucana cross

[storminstaffs]

comb is saying roo but feathers are saying pullet still, probably hatched out late feb, early march

I vote pullet

Comb looks cockerel to me. It's very pronounced and colorful already. And do I detect some pointy saddle feathers coming in? Anyway cockrel is my vote.

Can you post a sideways picture of its saddle area? Its looking like a roo to me.

If it was born late Feb early march, that is definately a roo. It has a bigger comb at that age than my araucana hens as adults. There is also red coming in on the shoulders which is another roo indicator. If the bird was maybe 5 months I would possibly say pullet cause it is a cross.

The redness and pronounced look of the comb indicates rooster, but I'm not positive yet. Since the bird is still about 2-3 months old, It still has it's juvenile plumage. When it molts, it will show the saddles/hackles. but it doesn't have them quite yet...

I'd put money on it crowing in the future.

looks like i'll just have to hold on to it abit longer

it's mam is a english lavander araucana and it's dad is a mixture with his mam being a welsummer x cream legbar and dad being a unknown cross bred, so this chick is quite a mixture lol
