Sexing Feathered ISA Browns and Ameraucanas

[LittleLivin]

I hope this is the right place for this! I'll be getting three Ameraucanas and three ISA Browns soon. They will be feathered when I get them. I would like to have all hens. Will it be easy to tell pullets from cockerels in these breeds once they are over a month old? Is there a tried and true way to tell the difference?
Thanks in advance!

You can tell Isa Browns (just another name for a Red Sex Link) from hatch, because they are sex linked. At 8 weeks you should be able to tell you Easter Eggers. (you'll be getting EEs, unless you are buying from a breeder, or, like Meyer hatchery and My Pet Chicken, do have true Ameraunana.)

Isa browns will be reddish. If it's a cockerel, he'll be mostly white. You are most likely getting Easter Eggers, and not Ameraucanas. Those are a bit harder to tell, b/c you will be totally dependent on comb development at that age, and some birds develop faster than others.

Thank you both! I never realized Isa brown and red sex link were the same! Learn something new everyday.
