Hi everyone. I have a bet with my mom about my EE that we hatched from Natalie (sonew123).
I am sure she is a girl, but Mom is thinking she might be a boy. Will you settle the bet for us? Doodle is bigger than most of the other chickens the same age, but that doesn't mean it's a boy, right? Her legs are strong but not huge like the other roosters and she doesn't have any spurs, not even any little buds on her legs. Her comb is still real pale. She is 12 weeks old tomorrow. Her hackle feathers look pointed because of the color, but when I hold her and look close the bottoms are round. She doesn't have any pointy saddle feathers either, they are all round. Here are 7 pictures.
Thanks,
Alex

YAY ! ! ! !

Mom has to do the dishes every night for a week! And, she has to pick up dog poop for a week too! But I probably will end up helping her cuz she will pout. I hate it when she pouts. haha

Thank you! I really love that Doodle.

She's really pretty, Alex. Here is one I used to have, a black Ameraucana male named Scout, taken at about 12 weeks old, too. You can see the comb and saddle feathers are really different, too, plus the tail.

Thank you everybody! Wow, I can really tell the difference when I look at the picture of your rooster. Thank you for showing me.
And thank you for the welcome to BYC. I have posted a few times when I hatched my Buff Orpington eggs, but I used my mom's log-in. We finally made my own, since I am going to hatch more BO eggs soon and I will be posting about it. The Buff Orpington flock is my own to hatch and take care of. I am learning a lot. I'm glad my Doodle is a girl, but we are moving soon to a place where we can have roosters so I would keep her even if she was a boy. She thinks I'm her mom! Hmmm, a boy for a mom. That's one confused chicken!
