That is a red sexlink, and it's a female.

Thank you! I have 4 of them, so they are not Buff Orpingtons?

Buff Orpingtons are a uniform, creamy gold all over. And they have white skin, not yellow. You definitely have red sexlinks.

So good to know! Thank you!

Really? How are you sure it is a pullet? I also thought it was an Ameracuna! Oops!

 

[junebuggena]

The color/pattern is too uniform for a male, and a male at 12 weeks would have a very red, well developed comb, deep rusty red through the shoulders, and visible male saddle feathers. And 99% of birds sold as Ameraucana are actually Easter Eggers.

Oh! Great, thank you for the information!
