By the looks of those saddle feathers, I'm afraid Speedy may actually be a rooster...

Hmmm she looks pretty girly to me. I think it may be the bad pics. Ill take a better pic of her.

I really hope Speedy is a girl. We just lost our other EE chick who was a crossbeak this past sat the kids were sooooo upset as was I.

Here are a few more pics

I think she's a girl, it's the penciled feathers that make it look like she has saddle feathers. She's pretty!

So far I think Speedy is a girl. The black and white makes us EE people a little nervous for it being a boy (b/c they so often are) however her comb is nice and small and flesh colored, her patterning across her back and wings are very regular, and not "splotchy" and there is no "rusting" breaking out in those same areas (red feathering when it begins it looks like the feathers are starting to get rust spots)




Oh and I forgot, she has a nice full tail at 7 weeks, EE boys typically (not always) are slow to feather out thier tails.

This is the Araucana that I purchased yesterday. Can anyone tell me about the "fuzzy feet?" That became the name my son gave her (I hope).

What color was Speedy as a chick? I picked up a mostly all black one thinking I could get a really neat colored adult, but I'm new at this chicken thing-got my first BR girls, last May.

Araucana do not have feathered feet, so if she has araucana in her she is mixed.
