From the beginning I thought these two were something they are now not appearing to be ha ha.
#1 - The grey is an EE (I think - that's a cross with Americauna correct?) But from what I read here, I thought that EE could have muffs or a beard but not both, and needed to have grey legs. So I'm confused about that part.
We assumed she was a hen. No wattles that I can feel when she's roosting at night, didn't want to turn on a light and scare her. Then she crowed last week. It was while we were moving them to their new coop and I thought it might be a stressed thing because she was out first and I thought maybe she was calling to the others. But it's happened a few more times this week. This morning she was first out of the coop, then went back in and checked for others - which I assume is rooster behaviour? And...today I see these hackle feathers sprouting. Argh. She's actually a cockerel with no wattles isn't she? And is s(he) an EE?
#2 - I thought this one was an Americauna (one pb was supposed to be in the batch) and we figured from behaviour when she was younger that she was a cockerel....but there's no wattles and not much comb either. Or muffs, or beard lol. Definitely has grey legs though. She's calmed down a lot and isn't nearly as combative as she was. She's a hen??? And an Americauna??
