    Have you got a top photo of the bird?

    My Ameraucanas are so hard to sex until they are older... I bought 6 Ameraucanas that I was sure were pullets... got 2 cockerels... So, not a bad %, but, wow.... I was really suprised with these two guys.

    Nice looking bird.... Good luck

    Thank you so much for the feedback guys. As far as it being a roo or not I'm still trying to figure that out myself. I will post more pictures soon!
