Thoughts on this sweet Ameracauna? Boy or girl and what colour would you call this? Thank you

With that patchy shade of Blue on the wings, it's a cockerel.

Interesting. I didn't know that. I'll have to take a closer look tomorrow.
Pretty sure the top 2 have the reddish brown chest. Not sure I've seen black on the last one. Is 7 weeks too early for the chest feathering color markers?

You can sex them as soon as those chest feathers start coming in at about 3 weeks old.

Yes I'll do so this morning and add here. I bought two at a small hobby farm chicken sale from a lady who breeds only Ameracaunas this ones comb is thicker and redder than the others is. Pic to come! Thanks for your time.

Could you get a better tail shot? I believe it is a cockerel. Where did you get it? How old is it?

Nine weeks old. Will get a better photo today. I bought two at a small hobby farm chicken sale from a lady who breeds only Ameracaunas this one's comb is thicker and redder than the others is. Pic to come! Thanks for your time.

Thank you. Would he be what is called a blue splash?

Thank you. Would he be what is called a blue splash?

No. Not a Splash. He only has one copy of the Blue gene, so he is considered Blue.

Hmmm
Cause he is 5 weeks in this photo... And I don't see black.

Here he is today at almost 7 weeks... A little black coming in.

Maybe not a pure Welsummer?

I've got some bad news for you. That's not a Welsummer, and it's not a pullet. That's a mixed breed cockerel.
