I have some questions!! Meet my Ameraucana!

[Lilly10310]

So I have a Ameraucana chicken that my friend gave me but she said it was hatched in the middle of April 2021. But I think it’s way older than that. It just started crowing. So please help

It's a cockerel, that's why it's crowing. 3 1/2 months old or so... that more or less sounds about right.

It's also an Easter Egger!

Also does it look healthy??

But the comb is to big for 3 1/2

Depends on his genetic background, if there's anything with a big comb like Leghorn mixed in somewhere that could give him quite a big comb earlier on.

It's hard to gauge age of birds past a certain point though. He could be 4 months, 5 months, so I just took a loose guess. But definitely more than 3 months old with that feathering.
