Rooster?

[ChickenerMan]

Hi everyone this is I believe this is a Araucana. I read in a book somewhere that they have rather small combs and wattles but I am beginning to think this may be a rooster because of the long tail feathers. (He is a only child

so I have no one to compare him with)

Ok thanks but do you think he is araucana? or is he cross?

He is an Ameraucana.
There is a great article on the difference between Araucana, Ameraucana, EE's and Rumpless Araucana's here on BYC if you are confused.

I didn't think Ameraucanas exist in Australia and New Zealand. We have Araucanas here. The OP is from New Zealand.

Ooops. Yes I just saw that OP is from NZ. I too am from Australian and yes you are right, no Ameraucana's here.

And so tell me, where in Australia is "The Foothills of Chickendom"? I may wish to visit such a place ha ha!

Looks like a rooster, but I'm not sure about breed. If you weren't in Australia, I would say Black Ameraucana.

Should I wait before I sell him? Or sell him now?
Ps I live in town so cannot wait for him to start crowing
