Any idea on this baby? I go back and forth on my guess

rooster

that is a rooster

I think a year after they've posted, they know that

I'd say rooster. Can you post a picture of the tail? If it not feathering yet, definitely a rooster

See, this is what happens when people don't look at the dates before they post

I just got some amerucanas and i dont know a specific way for them but there is the wing soan testing and the length of the wings. The ones with short wings r the males but it is hard to tell at a very young age. Another way is there size and behavior. They may be more outgoing.

I picked up a doz of them and dang if every one of them turned out to be roos except for two. I think the hatchery pawned off all their males to TSC and just called them straight run. So much for blue eggs any time soon.

Hi again lol now my chickens are 11 weeks old and one of my chickens named Hazel, shes the one with the white head and the dark grey bottom. Today she grabbed one of my barred rock chickens by the neck and got on her back and i noticed this from all the squaking i heard. Does that mean Hazel is a rooster i mean it is way to early to have babies. Also Hazels comb is pretty red but u cant see it in the pic
