Lavender Araucana gender help please

[amanda2238]

I have two lavender araucanas. I’m not 100% sure on their ages to be honest but I believe one is a roo and one is a hen. The one I suspect to be hen I think is 2 weeks or so younger than the ‘roo’. I picked them up on Nov 25th at 9 weeks old so they should be around 16 weeks or so. Appreciate any advice or tips as I’m not as familiar with Araucanas or sexing them. I am in Western Australia so these are lavender araucanas.



Chook 1, suspected roo.



Chook 2, suspected hen.

Hi Amanda, did your suspicions turn out to be correct?
