Thank you for the warm welcome. I do have some pics and would like to ask you guys some expert advice. I bought what was supposed to be 3 Americaunas pullets. One Blue names Happy Feet which we now are convinced is a Rooster. crows every day (juvenile voice). He recently is developing some brown spots on his back?? His color was beautiful. He has slate grey legs, beautiful beard and muffs. I will upload his pic.

Our 2nd Americauna was supposed to be a Blue Wheat her name is Dixie and is my favorite. What a great fun personality she has. But... I believe she is an Easter Egger. She has a small beard only and green legs. This is her

Our 3rd Americauna is supposed to be a Mottled pullet. We thought for sure she was a rooster. We heard her and Happy crow together for the first time a couple of weeks ago. But only Twice? She has never again. She’s the biggest and beautiful. Her name is Alphie because she is very dominant and her and happy would challenge all the time. Not anymore. She still coos where Happy’s voice is all Rooster now. We can have one Rooster but not 2. So keeping my fingers crossed she is a Pullet. The 3 are now 10 weeks old today. Here’s her pics.
