Roo or Hen?

[Harris14]

I bought these chicks from Tractor Supply 3 weeks ago. The grey one is supposed to be sapphire gem hen and the brown one americauna hen. The grey one has me puzzled. Is it really a hen or a roo? Thank you

Why are you so puzzled about the SG?

The Sapphire Gem is a Sexlink, so is definitely female.
The “Americauna” is actually Easter Egger mix and is probably female based on pattern.

Can we have pics of them head-on? The SG is making me wonder. If it is male, it’s not an an SG. Could be some identical breed, like a Blue Rock or Australorp.

way to soon to say for certain on the EE. The sapphire should be a sex link, if they actually sent you a SG.

Americauna is Easter egger mix?

Just the way it holds itself. This is the third time I’ve raised chicks and the way it holds itself makes me think roo.

Americana is code for EE.
Ameraucanas (the real ones) are rare and expensive.
