What gender?

I have a pullet that is half EE and half BCM. She is black with a muff/beard. Her tail is nothing like you're bird. Your bird looks like a cockerel to me.

The woman said it was a black orpington but no way. She had a HUGE americauna rooster I don't think she believes was mounting..but I mean clearly! Everyone in this thread said it was a pullet but now it's looking more like a rooster!

Everyone in August said pullet. Doesn't crow, doesn't sqaut, 26 weeks hasn't laid. But look at those tail and neck feathers...?

Very visible male saddle feathers. Cockerel. Ameraucana can be slow to mature.

Will it ever crow? Hahaha it doesn't make a sound!

Well I'm sure sorry. I thought that was a pullet back when you first posted, but it's clearly not. There goes my average

I recently purchased chicks from Rural King. 6 Dominiques (the whole reason for a spur of the moment purchase), 3 EEs and 2 Welsummers. I had eveything ready just was going to wait a bit. I think I have 4 pullets and 2 roos of the Doms. I m attaching pics.

The sixth is in the second picture and I m almost 100% he is male. The bigger one standing up in the back. There is a little girl hidden behind one of the bigger girls in the first image. I am thinking she is younger than the rest. Can anyone tell me if I am close? Thank you.
