Attention SpeckledHen!
I must say thank you for your clear pictures and concise, accurate information. No, I'm not sucking up to you, Cynthia!
I have 16 Ameraucanas I hatched from Dipsy Doodle Doo's blue eggs. I usually wait until full feathering to sex them, but these are still a bit confusing, even at 21 weeks! They don't stop moving long enough to really get a count. Busy bunch of teenage hoodlums.
Today I decided to band and also decide who to keep, but couldn't be SURE my memory was correct. I went to the search box top right and typed in "sexing Ameraucanas". Third thread I read through was this one, and SpeckledHen has some very clear and definitive information there including pics.

So thanks Cynthia, and everyone try the search function! If one word or phrase doesn't work, another will.
