i bought this Easter egger (americauna) at Rural King as a hen chick. She? Was light gray and yellow. She is a little high strung and doesn’t liked to be touched. Her comb is pretty flat. She is about 4-5 weeks old. Any ideas??
The comb is normal, its called a pea comb. The red over the shoulders is a cockerel trait. That would make this young easter egger a cockerel.
And for reference, he's not an Ameraucana if he was purchased at a feed store. They're all easter eggers.
Cockerel.
The red comb gives it away.
Most of the time, the red patches indicate a cockerel, but not always. So never judge just by that. I've seen several hens that have it.
