Early guess is Roo. Thick legs, tall comb and look at how pointy the feathers are around the neck already. Very, very pretty though.

Yeah that is what I was thinking too. The size difference between the two is crazy. Well maybe I will have some neat babies next year from them!

Judging by color, 100% pullet. You'll never see a rooster that color.

Looks like a girl to me. I have one that looked exactly like her. Look up pics of "silver ameraucana" and that's my girl. It took a while for her chest to turn reddish, but it did. Definite girl colors.

I had a boy who started out looking like he was going to be the same color, but he quickly developed a lot of white and dark red on his back.

So would her and her sister both be americunas then? The pic of her sitting with a little brown chick are both supposed to be americuna/EE's. The americuna is gigantic compared to the little brown one.

Ameracuana, Arucana and EE' are three different birds with the EE's being a mixed breed laying various shades/colors of eggs from brown, pink, olive, green and blue.

Mine is an EE. She just looks exactly like a purebred silver ameraucana with green instead of slate legs.

Then I have an EE

She has the green legs, and her sister has dark dark blue-ish brown.

I noticed some feather colors coming in on said EE so I am posting to see if yall still think she is a she.

She is alive, but the only way to take a still picture of her this close is to flip her over on her back... its like putting and alligator to sleep.. flip her over, rub her tummy and she is out... weird

here is the original pic of her

Sorry to post more pics but the DH is bugging me!
