Need help with Sex ID

[dicaprio]

I have an Ameraucana chicken that is 11 weeks old. I bought it at 3 weeks thinking it was a pullet, but now I think its a cockerel. Can anyone help me? If it will be a rooster, I need to find it a good home.

If you post some pics we might be able to help.

Here are some pictures that I uploaded:

Yes, it is a cockerel and it's an Easter Egger.


It also looks a bit sickly.

Thank you for the ID. Why do you say it looks sickly?

 

[rodriguezpoultry]

Although he is not sexually mature, his face is pale and pasty looking. The eyelids are puffy and heavy.

So, please tell me what I should do. I have the chicks still separated from the hens because the hens traumatize them. That means that the chicks are in the coop M-R without going out side. Could that be a cause for your "sickly" look? I keep the coops clean and make sure that food and water is available.

What are you feeding them? How soon after the birds were in the hens pen did you take the photograph? Were the birds able to get to the food with the hens chasing them?
