Not another roo?!

[Love My Chickies]

I'm a little nervous about this baby. Out of my first 4 chickens, THREE turned out to be roos. So I went and got these 4 sexed pullets. This one has much thicker legs than the others and honestly just seems to have a cockrel's attitude! Please tell me it's a pullet. I know s/he's probably too little (about 5 weeks).

What breed?

Nothing screaming roo right now, it might be too early. Do you know what breed she/he is?

What breed?

They claim Americauna.

They claim Americauna.

Might be a cockerel because of the red coloring if they are actually EEs. (An Americana is an EE)

Thats an EE. Slightly young, but I vote male

For my own education, may I ask what makes you think so?

It’s an EE and a definite cockerel.
EE because of it’s impure color and green legs, and the fact that real Ameraucana are not usually sold in feed stores and if they are, the breed name is spelled right AND they’re 15+ bucks each.

For e cockerel part, it’s because rid his huge comb and definite male pattern.
