Sexing 1day old gold americannas is it possible

[Palintar]

Just hatched 4 gold americannas and one of them is light brown. Could this be rooster by chance? The other 3 are gold and brown.

Ameraucanas are not sex linked because they are crossed to breed true. Easter Eggers would only be sex linked if there were specific pairings used in the parents, and those would usually involve the barring gene.

Sorry. You'll just have to wait and see.

Just saw this post sorry for delay. For future reference, if your original stock is hatchery americanas then there's a good chance the hatchery bred them for feather sexing.

You can google it to understand it and try on your next hatch to see if your flock infact has the feather sexing genes.

Only vent sexing will work for Ameraucanas this young.

X2, other than that, there is no way to tell until they’re older.

Have to wait. Ameraucana aren't sex linked. EEs can be, depending on breeding.
