What type of Americaunna is this?

I'm pretty sure I see pointed saddle feathers in the new photo, which means that bird is a rooster.

No way! That might explain why she's a such bully to the younger chickens. If this is a rooster, that means that 2 out of 7 chicks were sexed wrong at the hatchery.

Are the saddle feathers rounded on the females?

Check out my EE hen, June's saddle area and compare hers to the one on your bird. See how round hers are?

Agree that's a cockerel.

I have three Oops cockerels this year

This is not good if my Easter egger is a rooster too. That means that I have 5 now, and I have 14 hens. (Or I hope I do). I'm wondering I my light brahma bantam rooster is a female now because his saddle feathers look more round to me.

Omg she looks exactly like my Luna!

June came from the hatch of a breeder's eggs who was working on the new Salmon Ameraucana color. She was obviously not it, LOL. She's 6 1/2 years old now, great hen.
