Sex my chicken!

[Chelsearae087]

Hey! I have a couple of blue wheaten ameraucanas that are almost 5 months old. I'm fairly certain the dark one is a roo, but do you guys think the lighter one is a pullet?

Yes, she's a pullet. Wheaton and blue wheaton are sexually dimorphic, meaning that the males look differently from the females. You can see the differences clearly in these two.

For reference.

The red, & black guy is a cockerel. Yes the lighter colored one is a pullet.

I had heard that, but wasn't 100% sure, but I'm glad it's not just wishful thinking! Thank you guys.

You're quite welcome! I've found that website to be invaluable... besides this one! ;-)

They're not blue wheaten. Just wheaten. Blue wheaten would have gray/blue tail feathers.

Also, I wouldn't use that cockerel for breeding or give him to someone else for breeding. He appears to have a back deformity.
