Is he or isn't he

My chicks are about 22 days old. All are supposed to be pullets. There is one however, I'm worried about. One of my two Ameraucana's Here are 4 photos, maybe someone can help..... determine if she is a rooster. Thanks

 

[TayFray!]

can you post a picture of that one and another one compared!

Those legs are HUGE!!! That is the only thing for me that makes it perhaps a cockeral.

here is a couple of more pictures of him/her.... will try tonight to get pictures of him/her along with pictures of the other ameraucana.

Those legs do look awfully "meaty" but at 22 days it can be pretty hard to tell with pea combed birds. BTW with those willow legs, I would have to say that those are EE's.

Totally agree. Give it more time. EE's can be notoriously hard to sex and can fool you. Mine was a monster, biggest in the group, big heavy legs. Turned out to be a very nice hen.

All of our chicks (a variety of breeds) are straight run....we have our suspicions, but we are holding out until the bitter end! Ours are 4 weeks and I am not even remotely ready to make those "calls" yet! Good luck!

Check out those feet!

Gotta be a rooster...

Id give them time. I thought all of my EE's were roosters, but they are girls- and lay me lots of pretty Greene and blue eggs
