Is there a reason you thinks she isn't an americana?

With that little crest I'm going to guess legbar mix. Maybe an olive egger?

fun unicorn nails this week

I don't see any boys. Your easter Eggers both have female specific coloring and sapphire gems are sex linked, a male would be barred. Lavender orps are notorious for being tricky to sex but I don't see anything that would make me think male.

Look at her little leg freckles!

Excellent visual chartBarring is sex linked, it is only present on the Z chromosome. Since males are ZZ, males can carry two copies of the barring gene but females, being ZW, can only carry one copy. So an Ayam cemani (non barred) rooster over a cuckoo hen will result in solid black females and...

Marcille was really getting into the "dustbathing" this afternoon!

Bibu immediately before shaking out her feathers. I am in love with this photo.

7 weeks I'm leaning cockerel but not completely certain.

I think she gets cuter by the day!

Ah, kinda like how barred rock has sort of become what some people call any Plymouth rock chicken because it's the most well known variety.

Artemis and Amalthea are starting to get their fluffy cheeks!

How old? Wyandottes are often tricky to sex. It's super common for pullets to pink up early. Right now the lacing looks pretty even. In the first picture the wattles are pretty small still, but they look larger in the second pic.

The unexpected color probably comes from your rooster. There are three common ways to get a white chicken. Dominant white, which only requires one copy to turn black (or blue or lavender) to white. Recessive white, which requires two copies (one from each parent) to turn black into white. And...

More outside time this evening! They all got really spooked when the evening train went through town. I could have sworn they've heard a train horn before, but I guess they've never been outside when the trains have blasted their horns.

Agreed. The feather colors are saying male but the comb color and feather shapes says maybe not. It should be more apparent in another week or three, but you might just have to wait on an egg or a crow.

:frow Welcome to the flock!

It's enrichment time!not so sure about the new scary thingcareful nowoh! Goodies!

It's too hard to just pick one! In my first flock my favorite hen was a clean faced easter egger. But my favorite breed from my first mixed flock was probably the speckled Sussex. I also really loved my blue orpington hen. In my current flock it's a tie between the Meyer cookies and cream and...

Oh yeah, at 15 weeks that's for sure a pullet!
