Your roo.... it was his coloring. The thick legs and nice big pink comb helped too. Usually roos (EE or Ameraucanas) will have 3 rows NOT ALWAYS.... I have some pullet with that too. There is a thread on sexing EE by there coloring if you want to take a look. You will get pretty good at it with practice.

I have one that is a very pretty EE Pullet:



She has been doing the egg squat for a week now, so expect the first egg any day.

Pretty color development often indicated a roo. That is what I love about EEs....even the pullets and hens can be colorful.

Very pretty. Mine hatched a couple of days before Christmas. She was par of my first hatch. The Marans in the picture was the only Marans to hatch out of 4 eggs. She was one of 6 that hatched out of 8 EE eggs.

Ok I got this so called Ameraucana last year I'm thinking EE. She was suppose to be 1 year old. I'm think maybe 2 years lol. I didn't real want her or the other 5 this guy had for sale cause they where beat up. 6 hens in with 46 roos. I bought them fattened them up I was given them 4 months to lay or freezer camp time. Six months go by LOL. Only 2 where laying. But all where fat and feathered. So I kept 2 and named them. Roca cause she was the color of Almond Roca and Mrs Clause she had a white fluffy beard! They molted and her beard is black lol and Roca is a much brighter color. I didn't know they could change the plumage color with a molt. I guess sick beat up birds when taken care of can bloom check it out. I know it is the same chicken because of the tear drop shaped comb. wierd

Note the white beard!

Now its dark and the rest of the feathers are brite!

Roca pretty drab looking

Roca after the molt nice double lacing came out!

Thanks, he has always been a cutie pie and a ham when it comes to pics so I have plenty:










In this last one he just started getting his "rusting". I had no idea at the time he would develop red colored feathers.
