I bought 4 Ameraucana pullets but ...

[Phoenixmaine81]

I'm crazy nuts about them since I learned about what they were cus I was mixed up on thinking the was three types eggers, being one, but I'm gullible

Hackle super sharp n long skinnier pointier than other two I guess my gut keeps saying Cockerel I'm too new to be sure but when I'm with all three the silver Blu n the BLK Blu look blunter wider up close..nope couldn't get in as close..."suspect" let me weirdly cus it's off in the distance usually.. Total diff gait.. The two bluish/lavender/ BLK ones are waddly while running but they do run straighter than my other 4 breeds .. the brown partridge is a bullet... in line straight ... Way diff mannered and has a few pullets with it...

always the sames... The other 2 pullets hackle feathers nowhere near this skinny long n pointed like... sharp compared

Straight up crazy over the three eggers... I did get closer shot of the browns very distinct and much sharper hackle than the other two have..their stance and waddlish gait while he's a straight in line lightning bolt.. Totally different gait..guess Gunna have o wait n see n I don't do waiting well but it'll be a fun surprise...** Secretly hoping)** if it is a pullet can it change on command?? Want to breed it if a boy... Right now everybody at 6 weeks old is pretty much displaying rooster Behavior because they are confused on what they are because they're too young to know, so everybody's kind of doing this karate kid crap kicking at each other and loud squawks and for the most part though they don't fight but every now and then they all will go at it...my Blu black lavender is magnificent and the silver Blu smoke one is gonna be big ...View attachment 1825871 View attachment 1825871 View attachment 1825888View attachment 1825871 View attachment 1825888 View attachment 1825889this freakin sharp ass hackle tho... The other two are different even wings he's lean n clean lines they are choppier blunter n just their gait their temperment screams girls the brown one not so much... Guts saying one Cockerel still... Not cuz I hoped it was it's cuz I can't unsee the difference..lol... Ugh live them no matter what but I'm daydreaming of NH red eggers n buff orpington eggers etc ..

I would highly suggest starting a separate thread in this section for your chicks so people can weigh in on them easier and so that you're the op on that thread.

Easter eggers!!!I!s weirdly ironic u posted this because I was told I bought three americauna and they are not.. They are real Easter eggers they have greenish legs but coloring if it can't be found for a specific breed marker, usually indicative of one type of colored egg laying chickens.. Could be aracana too but I'd say eggers but only reason I found out what mine were was I have a partridge colored one and eggers have a color called partridge n green legs do not mean definitely eggers cuz aracana also have greenish legs but I learned yesterday that tractor supply doesn't have a clue up here... I'm in northern Maine (may as well say Canada) so they get away with it cuz I don't think anyone even close in my county even, that are into chickens like me, but I'd be pissed if i was breeding specifically but I'm not but I DO feel lucky to get eggers.. they are stunningly gorgeous at six wks.. I can just imagine mature but gosh i feel blessed to get eggers ..I have12 chicks n 3 are eggers..I pictured some for sex identity in a thread cuz I think I have a rooster outta the 3 ... the six she got Were not bought as def hens I guess (my mom in law got them for me) but my very first six were..all hens... and I replaced one that died two hrs after getting home n I ended up with an orpington hen by accident someone just gave me the ugliest looking chicks but oh the ugly ducking is a swan !!a!she's the dutchess cuz she's PERFECT-T-T lol... The BLK austrolorps i have four and they are growing into a stunning green shimmer on their BLK feathers in the sun... i have two pullets definitely...n two Cockerel..i have two NH red pullets two comet pullets One of the pics is of Mr. umm wait, miss big ??? Almost all grey but really looks lav/blue ** I did post a thread inquiring** but am dying to know if I'm right.. First picture of two birds together is my partridge (brownish color) and the dark lavender bluish one (is that partridge colored one is a Cockerel???) hackle is reason I ask.. It's pretty good pic n I see a difference... both of the dark n light are exactly the same the brown one is not nope...roo I suspect so the two that are in one pic if both are diff sex I know what the third one is cuz it's exactly the same as the dark .. I'm sucha newbie plz bare with me..but the brown has pointy needly hackle, I'm hoping I only have one roo (brown one) cuz if it is a roo the other two are pullets but they are all more aggressive n not as friendly as my others but the lightest out of the three ("americaunas" ya right..idiots lol) if it is in fact a pullet she's gonna crow like a roo.. she already is kinda and displays dominance so it's possible n she's big but feathers are pointy but more blunt roundish compared to the browns hackle and also Tru with the silver blue lavender (was called mr big cuz it's my biggest bird)..in fact for six wks old plus u would think it's a dog the way it wags it's tail... alot.. Like my ducks do.. the other one it's opposite twin lol is not as big but not as small as the brown one (danged if it don't look like a freaking partridge) the brown is more on bantam side.. In person, in living color that is, the birds are blue n lavender n brown mixed (2 of them) but opposite each other kinda cuz ones darker n other is silverish blue Cross purple with not much blk.. If it was an americauna a light head vs body would show sex they say, but not so true with eggers I guess?? Hackle is only thing noticible right nowView attachment 1825124 View attachment 1825125
