Is my ameraucana a rooster??

[lydiaholmes]

I got my hens (2 ameraucanas, 2 barnevelders) in April, so they're about 4 months old now. I worry that one of my ameraucanas is a rooster...it's the noisiest, bossiest, and has the biggest and brightest comb out of all of them. I've included a photo, and I'm not sure if you can tell or not but it also has the long, whispy feathers down its neck and by its tail like a rooster would. I didn't include a photo of its feet, but I've also noticed little nubs on its legs that might be the start of spurs. Help?

I'm pretty sure it's an ameraucana, the people at the farm and garden center where I got him said it was kinda rare for ameraucanas to be all white like that.

The yellow legs are not in compliance with the breed standard.

Sorry, but Ol Grey Mare is right. White Ameraucanas have blue legs and are a little different in type, too. But he's still a nice looking roo! Easter eggers are great chickens!

As an aside, white is actually a common color for true ameraucana.

Looks like a cockerel based on comb and hackle feathers.

Cockerel, yes, ameraucana, no...
