Is My Americauna a rooster.. ? I really hope not..however..

[missy530]

I am new to this thread, but not new to chickens, we recently moved to Oregon and I have a new flock. I really don't want Kellogg to be a rooster, but he is bigger and more colorful, however not crowing yet, Kellogg is 3 months old. Any ideas that you may have to decide if he is, I would appreciate,, Melissa

Not only is Kellogg a rooster, but he's an Easter Egger (the greenish legs are a dead giveaway) instead of a true Ameraucana. If you're not familiar with the difference, there is a good article at http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2011/09/ameraucana-easter-egger-or-araucana.html explaining the difference between Ameraucanas, Araucanas, and Easter Eggers. Sorry. (

Thank you, I kind of figured that but was hoping for a miracle, he is so pretty well we have one Easter egger left, and she is smaller and not as pretty, so I am sure she's a hen. We had one in California, I love the green egg shell color.

Yes that is a rooster. Ameraucana's have more bluish legs, although some are more greenish blue. true Ameraucana's are hard to come by, so you probably have an Easter egger.
