Hen or Roosters

[Chickenhappy8708]

I was told at tractor supply Where we bought them that that’s what they were. And that they would like Easter eggs

I realize my post is a bit confusing, TSC orders their birds from Hoover Hatchery. Ameracanas should lay blue eggs, not pink, not green, but blue, some Easter Eggers (America) do lay blue eggs, but green is more common.

First is a cockerel, second a pullet.

The B&W is male, other is female. The comb is red on the B&W plus there's rust spots on the wings.

I agree, the white is a cockerel and browns a hen. Pretty chicks either way.

I picked up an “Ameraucana” from TS as well. it’s an Easter Egger. It seems to be a common mislabel for the store.

At are store, the chicks were labeled Americana, fancy for EE. Tricks a lot of people I suppose.

Tractor supply doesn't sell pure Americunas. I found that out. They are Easter Eggers. I have one silver and one brown. My girl looks just like yours. My silver is a boy. They are 16 weeks
