Hi I have two ameraucanas from TS that were straight run, the one we named Owlbear (grey one) has always been dominant we have suspected he was a roo from when he was little. Being our first time with chickens we didn’t realize this breed doesn’t get very developed crowns or waddles. So we thought the only rooster we got (also in photo, Cluck Norris) was our starlight which funny enough was out of TS’s pullet bin. We also got two jersey giant straight runs and I am beginning to suspect one might be a roo, but with their slower development there isn’t anything screaming a roo like the starlight has been from the beginning, one just has more developed waddle and crown then the other. Would appreciate any opinions. They were born around April 1st or so. Comparing the two Ameraucanas we have, the grey guy is larger by far, he also has pointed saddle feathers and his sisters are more rounded, he has a waterfall like tail that’s very prominent, his crown is larger and he stands upright like my rooster. I also recently caught him crowing, which I know hens can do too. I tried to get a picture of them side by side but they wouldn’t cooperate. I’ll try again and to grab the jersey giants as well. I’d like to know if I’m looking at 1, 2 or 3 roosters, we have 21 hens then.
Update: was able to get better photos of all suspects. Thanks!
