True Ameracauna? Also, boy or girl?

[my4ladies]

This baby is 4 weeks old. It is supposed to be a Lavendar Ameracauna. I'm hoping it's a girl...I notice this chick doesn't have much for a tail, but not sure what that means for Ameracaunas. This is the only Ameracauna out of the bunch of chicks I have, so I can't really compare apples to apples. I'm also wondering if it's a true Ameracauna or not, out of mere curiosity. She came from a breeder, so I would assume yes.

I'm no expert, but it looks to be.

Did you get it from a breeder?

I also think Lavender is a project colour. Not sure if you can show the colour yet.

Just edited to add that yes, it did come from a breeder. I think I did read somewhere that Lavendar isn't recognized, but is that the only thing that would allow it to be called an Ameracauna? The colors used to achieve a Lav are recognized, right?

I don't want to get off topic... the breed doesn't really matter to me. I was just curious and don't want to call it an Ameracauna if it's not actually one, lol. That's all.

Any insight on gender??

I know how you feel! It would make me feel insecure if I was calling an Easter Egger an Ameraucana as well. So far everything is pointing towards girl IMO.

Thank you!

Can't tell gender at this point, but that does appear to be a legit Lav Ameracauna. No they are not a recognized color yet, but many shows have a category for developing breeds/mixes/etc.
