Hi, I am wondering if anyone can tell me if my ameraucana chicken is a rooster? Her name is Sweetie and my husband and I bought her among others a couple months ago as chicks/pullets. We are new to raising chickens. We have 11 total and we know the odds are likely to having a rooster. He heard crowing one morning around 5 am but was unsure which chicken it came from.
We are suspicious of a couple others but Sweetie often shows signs of being an alpha hen. She's also the biggest/poofiest but I'm not sure if that's just because of her breed. I'd like to mention she's not the greatest of flyers and has a hard time flying up to roost on fences with the other chickens. My husband has had to get on a ladder and help her get up there with her sisters. Anyway, I will attach some pictures of her and any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!
