Please be a pullet

I’m not saying your wrong, just 97% of people said pullet :/

Well, I’m not 97% of people, am I?
I am open to it either way. And believe me, I would love for my friend’s bird to be female. It’s just my educated guess.

Not saying you are lol.
I respect your opinion, so thank you for helping her out!

I've got a Sapphire Gem that has a super patchy pattern. SG's are sexable at hatch, but her pattern is not uniform at all. The other SG I have is a pretty, uniform blue and this one is just a mess. Here's an image of them both for comparison.

Interesting.
Well, in my experience, male blue Ameraucanas get patchy shoulders before saddles come in.
This is an 18 week old bird:

I do hope it’s female.

Same. It would suck if it isn’t

I can see significantly darker feathers coming in on the shoulders.

Yes. It seems to be one of those ”in between” ones where it has a pullet sibling and a cockerel sibling (Rain and Pebble, I think?) and it doesn’t fit with either.

guess we just have to wait and see. Maybe in a week or two

This pic makes me think it’s a female.

And this one, a male.

This is Jade, my 8 week old BBS Orpington X BBS Ameraucana cross.
I'm really hoping she's a she, but after hearing several people say cockerel I've been nervous.
I just took these pics tonight.

I don't know why her blues look so dark in some of the pics. I can usually tell pretty easily, but her comb seems big for her age, and flushes red often. I'm thinking pullet but just want confirmation. Thanks.

It could really go either way with this one. I would wait and then post again.
