Is this a girl?

[MysteryChicken]

I c. UGH…I thought the feathers looked ’rounded‘ when I checked today. So…wattles are not a tell-tale of gender? This one is still a doll…either way.
Thanks everyone.

It all depends on genetics with the wattle thing.

His saddle feathers are SUPER prominent. And I agree with MysteryC, he seems to have a gene that limits wattle growth to a degree

Thought this was a boy, but at 12 weeks still no wattles, so gets confusing to me. Is this normal for a boy or could this be a girl?

Male.

Cockerel.

He seems to carry the mutation(Linked to pea comb), that prevents, or minimizes wattle growth.

That's super interesting. Didn't know that. My rooster doesn't have waffles

Most Ameraucanas and bearded Easter Eggers don't.

He has a beard, which also prevents, or minimizes wattles. Those that have beards, & wattles are referred to as half bearded.

Ohh! Interesting. I have another rooster who also has a beard and wattles so I thought my wattle-less rooster was odd lol

I didn't know that because my other bearded rooster does have wattles. Thanks!
