Help... do we have ANOTHER rooster???

[samkost]

Hi, I’m new to raising chickens. This is our first experience in raising chicks. Patti is 11 weeks old and we’re thinking we might have ANOTHER rooster. We were also told she is an Ameracauna chick, not sure if that’s right either.

Looks like a cockerel to me

Patti is an Easter egger cockerel. 90% sure.

It appears to be an EE cockerel to me too.

Ugh... I was afraid of that! Can you keep more than one rooster if they were raised together?

That's definitely a cockerel, and one of the things you can look at are the legs to figure out if they are actually an Ameraucana instead of an Easter Egger. Ameraucanas have blue/slate legs. It's not fool proof but if they don't have blue/slate legs they aren't an Ameraucana.
