3 days ago, one of our 7-week-old chickens started trying to crow in the morning. it's a pretty sad crow, but definitely is a crow. She/he's an ameraucana. photos attached. He/she is a handsome devil.Is she a he? Any suggestions for rehoming in Northern California? We can't keep roosters where we live.

Can I ask, how can you tell? I have a 4 week EE I’m wondering if it’s a roo. He/she is double the size of my other chicks 😬


Well in the first bird photo you posted, it is obvious as the comb is large with 3 rows and red and the bird has red patterning on the shoulders, which is a cockerel sign in EEs.
This second bird is too young to tell. Nothing is indicating a cockerel at this time. May change though. 😊
