Are these Ameracaunas hens or roos?

[Donna73]

I bought these day-old chicks from a local farm, and one of the chicks didn't quite look the others. Their coloring doesn't seem to fit any I've seen here on the forum, but I haven't read every post! Can you verify that they are Ameracaunas, and then tell me their gender? One acts very aggressive, but no comb yet. Oh, they're 7 weeks old today.

This is one...

Same one, different angle...

The "aggressive" one...




The picture quality is not the best, and I'm not really sure what you'd look at, so if you need better/different pics, let me know!

Thanks,
Donna

can you get a closeup head shot from the side of the one at the bottom so we can see the wattles?

The top one looks hennish to me. The bottom, not sure. At 7 weeks the wattles are usually pretty red and obvious on a roolet, especially as compared to a pullet.

Both EE's. First one could go either way, need to see a pic of her standing focusing on the tail.
Second is probably a roo, a tail shot would help here as well.

1st Easter is pullet
2nd Easter is Roo...
Hope you wanted both sexes

I took some more pics, but can't get my computer to recognize my card right now. Will ask dh to help tonight.

We knew we'd get some roos and were holding off on naming the chicks until we knew...but dd fell in love with this one and named "her" (him?) Dottie. Cute name. But we had agreed with our neighbors that we wouldn't keep any roos.

Maybe we can negotiate and keep one...

Thanks for your answers and I hope you'll check back for my new pics soon!

Your first two EEs are pullets, I believe. The last one could be a cockerel.

Hi,

They are EE's. Sorry, I can't tell the gender.

God Bless,
