rooster???

I have two ameraucanas and here are the pics. I am thinking the bigger one is a rooster but dont know much about this breed. There are no spurs yet. Whacha think?

Definately a rooster He looks like he is crossed witha silver lakenvelder. I've never seen an Auracana with a single comb and those markings.
He's an easter egger.

definatly a rooster

Easter Egger rooster, but as someone else said, looks very much like part Lakenvelder, but hard to say anything for certain except that he's a he and an EE of some sort. They are not Ameraucanas, though. The hen is pretty!

You are correct! You've got a rooster on the right, and a pullet on the left.

thanks so much for all your replies. That is what I was thinking but wasnt sure. If I were to breed him with the easter egger hen, would the babies lay blue eggs when they grow up, since he may be a mix?

Yep!! He's probably a EE/Lakenvelder mix roo! He's super cute, though!!!

They both look like EEs, so it is possible. I'm not sure if the egg a chick hatches out of has anything to do with what color they will lay, but it might. EEs can pretty much lay any color. So you should have a good chance for blue/green eggs from the offspring.
If he is a EE cross or not he would already be considered a cross just for being an EE. That is from my understanding of EEs.
