Hen or roo? Please help me!

[MrsShag]

I will need to return the chick if it is a roo and if I do it right away I can get another the same age to replace this is one. Thank You

I was told that it is an Ameraucana.

How old is it?

 

[MrsShag]

It is 4 weeks old. Sorry, I should have said that.

I am wondering because I have 2 the same age. This one has a bigger comb than the other one.

tough to tell at 4 weeks... need to wait a couple more, perhaps, to get a better indication.. good luck!

Not a clue but that comb is bigger than my EE pullets at that age... if that HELPS at all.

Looking a little rooish to me...

 

[MrsShag]

This is a picture of the other one that is the same age.

You can tell b/c the roos combs will be bigger and have 3 prominent lines and the hens will have 1 prominent line. Looks like the 2nd is a pullet.

Top bird is a cockerel.

Second bird is a pullet.

Agreed.... cockerel and pullet EEs

Here's a pic of 2 of my cockerels at about the same age... my pullets looked like your other chick..... nice small flatter combs
