Blue Ameraucana - pullet?

[funkeke]

Pengu is our 7.5 week old (correction: 8.5 week old) Blue Ameraucana. I believe a pullet, but she displays aggressive behavior with our two cockerels more often than the other pullets. I've seen her defend other hens from rooster attention, is this behavior expected from a hen that is higher in the pecking order? She is quite outgoing and has perhaps the most interesting personality in our flock.

She appears to be a pulley, although I’m not too familiar with the breed. It could just be a bossy hen.

It's adorable! That's for sure! I'm leaning pullet, but I could be wrong...

I’m not sure, we’ll just wait and see. Although you do have more experience.

I am seeing some dark feathers over the wings which is usually a cockerel sign in the blue colored ameraucana. Though at 7 1/2 weeks it is still too early to be certain. I’ve had older pullets tell a young cockerel to piss off when he was bothering other pullets, but none this young.

Definitely a cockerel. It has saddles coming in.

Are you always on a computer?? I only see male saddles when on my computer, none when on my phone...may just be my eyes though

But yes...cockerel train has left the station!
