Blue Wheaten Ameraucana Gender

[conklinator]

I have 2 pure bred Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas that are approximately 6 weeks old. When I got them, they were about 2 weeks old, and looked almost identical, but now they have a few differences.

Here's the first one. It has noticeably longer tail feathers, and is getting some darker brown feathers on the wings. It's comb is pretty much all yellow.

Here's the second one. Coloring seems a bit lighter, but much more gray on the head. Also, the tail feathers are shorter, and comb looks like it's pretty red.

Hoping for 2 pullets, because I won't be able to keep a rooster in my neighborhood.

So far, they both look like pullets to me.

Can you post a picture of the comb of the second chick, the first looks like a pullet.

Sorry he definitely looks like a cockerel, sorry.

Looks to me like it has three rows of peas in the comb which means it's a cockerel.

Would that have anything to do with it being so significantly louder than all the others?

Ok my chicken supplier let me switch the rooster out for another Blue Wheaten of my choice. She had 2 others left to pick from, so I got the one that I thought looked least likely to be a rooster. Take a look and let me know what you think.

Bump... Anyone have any thoughts on this one?

It looks like a pullet for now.
