Sexing help!

I have a whole crew of 9 week old chickens, and of course our absolute favorite Americana has started to crow (we think). Does this look like a Roo?

look possibly like a male. Wait until around 12 weeks to see the saddle feathers. You could additionally post some pics of this chicken while it is standing, from the side, under regular light. Not red light or high shadows.

I’m hoping some of these are more helpful

It does look cockerelish to me.

Im leaning towards male. His stance in the one pic with the thick looking legs, and the fairly prominent pea comb for the age.

I guess we’ll be trying a rooster collar-he is so sweet and snuggly!

Just be careful as I’ve heard many instances where they’ve choked while eating with the collar on ect.

Also remember that it doesn’t make the crow silent, it only muffled it.

100% cockerel

Yep, that's a little dude! And also an Easter egger rather than Ameraucana.

They were listed as Americana at Tractor supply. What makes you say Easter Egger? Is there a characteristic to tell?
