Araucana--- Roosters or Hens

[drverdog]

Hi All,
Can anyone send me pictures, advice on how to tell roos from hens in this breed of chicken ? I have 8 and they are about 4 months old but all look alike to me. Thanks

With Araucanas sometimes it's a little harder because they have no tails! But the same cues hold true for them as for other breeds, other than sickle tails - bigger combs and wattles, wildly different coloring, pointed hackle feathers - though at four months they may not have pointed hackles yet. To demonstrate what I mean, here is a picture of a rooster from hinkjc, a BYC moderator:

(I found the image on a Google search. Beautiful bird, huh?)

Yes, it is; here is Harmony, my araucana hen.

Pictures would help. I noticed you asked about sexing on an ameraucana post.

Are these easter eggers, ameraucanas or araucanas?
