Calling Americauna Experts

[cstephens1987]

So what I see is a rose comb then correct? I read that hatchery Wyandotte’s could have a rose or a single comb. Does this mean it’s a girl? How soon can these be sexed?
What happened here was a few of us got together to buy chicks and they were all thrown in the same box and then they got mixed up. They all looked so much alike at that time. So I was suppose to get 3 varieties and ended up with 5. I’m not complaining though.

What they meant by rose or single is that the breed should have rose but can recessively (especially from hatcheries) have a single instead. Nothing to do with gender, everything to do with breeding

And please note the spelling, Ameraucana, as opposed to Americana. The spelling with the 'I' in the middle is how hatcheries get you. They misspell the name of the breed, and people think they're getting a pure bred ameraucana, when they aren't. If its spelled with the 'I' in the middle its a good bet its an easter egger.

Not to mention if you read the fine print there are other clues.
