Do you have a photo?So a 7 week old Wheaten Ameracauna that is very light colored with small orangish comb and wattles might be a pullet?
But a light breast would = pullet

I don't. I've learned, after driving myself crazy last hatch, that I just have to be patient. But I was surprised to see you can tell the difference by color and had to ask. LolDo you have a photo?

Wheaten is a sexually dimorphic color, so yes, you can tell sex once the breast feathers start to come in.I don't. I've learned, after driving myself crazy last hatch, that I just have to be patient. But I was surprised to see you can tell the difference by color and had to ask. Lol
Hello!! May you please update their genders! I have a splash wheaten Americana covered by a blue rooster around the same age and am hoping to compare.Hi, I’m trying to sex my almost 2.5 week old wheaten/blue wheaten/splash Ameraucana chicks. One is a definite cockerel from the dark feathering growing on his chest already, another I’m hoping is a pullet and the third has white chest feathers growing in on its chest. Could my third be a splash rooster or is there another explanation for the white? Also if anyone can give me insight on whether they are wheaten or blue wheaten
picture 1 is of all 3
Picture 2 & 3 are my definite cockerel
Picture 4, 5 & 6 are of my one with white feathering growing in on chest
I don't see any brown... is that a wheaten?Hello!! May you please update their genders! I have a splash wheaten Americana covered by a blue rooster around the same age and am hoping to compare.

That last pic is a POW pic if I ever saw oneI don't have blue wheaten.. just wheaten, but here are a Male and a female, not much older than yours...
The male is already pinking up on his comb, and of course all of those dark feathers.
Girl is all.... well... girl wheaten color.

Thank you !! And its hard to see but she has some orangish / brown feathers on her wingsI don't see any brown... is that a wheaten?
But for a wheaten, whether it is blue wheaten or splash wheaten, the brown on the breast will be the same as regular wheaten (remember that BBS is only working on the black coloring).
So, if it is a wheaten, just look at the breast feathers. As soon as they start coming in, you will know what you have.
