Bought from a breeder as Ameraucana.New pics.Is it the red???

Can you get some more full body from the side shots of the Brahma?

The deep color on the saddle/wing feathers in the first post pic made me think roo, but this most recent face picture looks more like a pullet.

Some of them look like roos to me too.

Okay, full body from the side. Will do. Any other shots or angles that would help?

I could be wrong... but I think 2 of them may be roos

I'd almost bet the darkest EE is

I'm not seeing hackle or saddle feathers like roos have. My easter egger hen from McMurray had a very masculine-looking face. My EE roo from McMurray was most definitely a roo by the time he was 15wks old. Definite orange, saddle feathers, etc. I'm seeing pullets in those pictures...

I went through 2 sets of batteries, filled a memory card, DH, kids and neighbors all think I'm crazy and I'm not sure I got any great shots. The stupid camera has such a delay most of them only have half of her in them.

I won't know for sure until the batteries charge.

Is there a better time frame or more of an absolute, like 12wks and you'll know for sure? A point of no return.

When they crow or lay an egg

I'm just thinking - if I were already someone who shows (and apparently wins) and I wanted to start showing a different breed - wouldn't you research that breed before you bought them? If the person you bought them from was a serious "chicken exhibitionist" she would have know the difference between EE and Ameraucanas for her own birds. I'm sorry she did this to your kids.

 

[Guitartists]

Does she just 'claim' these awards and show birds? Or do you know of her reputation... it does sound a bit scandalous

I mean, anyone can pay their dues to a club...right?
