She didn't come from a hatchery. I got her at a chicken swap. Well, on second thought, she could have and was sold as being hatched on the guy's farm.

I might have an issue. I have two girls and a roo Welsummer on order and due in September. Here is a picture of my first two members of my new flock 9/10 weeks old. They are both Ameraucanas and supposed to be hens, the brown one has quite the tail feathers though and as a newbie I am left wondering. I'm wondering if I have to break out my saw and hammer for another coop. Any guesses...male/female on the brown one?

You couldn't tell at this age if she was going to be a show bird now could you?

Much too early to tell about show quality. She still has a lot of growing to do but looking nice so far.

That looks all Hen to me--
You might want to post on the Ameraucana thread. Good Luck.

I am new to the welsummers. I picked up 2 from a local farm when I was getting EE's.
What are the main male female traits as a chick? Both look just alike.
What do you think male or female? If it was an EE I'd call them male because of the size.
I can get a better close up if needed.
