Hi there! My chicken Gracie is (Ameraucana) is 11 weeks old and we have become suspicious that she is a rooster. We are restricted from having roosters here in our city so we’ll need to know asap. She has an extra long tail that sticks upwards and her legs are much longer and she looks different from our other 2 Ameraucanas. However she is one of the more gentle ones so it throws us off a bit.

Any experts that can help?

I'm not an expert on breeds, so I can't say for sure... she does look like a typical amerarucana to me though. Either way, at 11wks she's likely a hen. Enjoy the pretty eggs when they come!!
 
Why is her tail look so different?
She's probably growing in those tail feathers....another couple months will tell the tale(tail-haha!))
Feather could also be funky because she looks to be lavender, they can have funky feathers.
