Is this an Ameraucana, EE, or Olive Egger? Male or Female?

[StephanieRose44]

Actually probably the same reason I wasn’t sure what the gender was, her legs are so big and long. I don’t know ‍

Really? Why do you say ?

Do you have any better full body pictures? I could point out some things that are making me lean towards male.

These ones are the best I have right now but I’m going out in a bit to get better pictures this is really driving me nuts lol here are some from when she was a little younger probably 4-5weeks

Those look fine The two main things making me think male at this point are:
1. the red coming in on his comb
2. and those big feet, and long legs
I absolutely love his coloring.

The black one is a cockerel. That tall, bright comb at 10 weeks........

Hey-there is an article up above where a member is using old farmer's tales to sex straight run chix! Maybe you could try a few and let us know!

I was sure (the black one) was a pullet? But any idea of what breed he/she might be.

Forgot to address gender - at 10 weeks, I'm not spotting any features that are blatantly cockerel so far. No red wing bars, or even obvious comb development. This is a representation of how most of my EE cockerels looked at around 10-11 weeks (note the other in the back, as well):

Ah, okay. I was referring to Cookie and Cleopatra, in case you were told they were Ameraucanas.

It's a lovely bird, to be sure. Most often, Olive Eggers are comprised of Welsummer X Cream Legbar, or Marans X Ameraucana, and Violet doesn't favor either. Green legs (which your lovely little one is marked by) are also a common Easter Egger trait.

Thank you just wanted to make sure but yes all 3 Cookie, Cleo (r.i.p) & Violet were all sold as Ameraucana. Thank you for the information! So in your opinion do you think cookie & violet have different parents or could they be bred from the same two birds?

I’m sorry I can’t tell if that was a joke or sarcasm or not lol but if not where is the article and I’m sorry if this is a dumb question but what does “straight run” mean?
