I bought two 8 week old ameraucanas several weeks ago (first time owner of ameraucanas) They were supposed to be pullets, but one turned out to be a cockeral (I figured that as the cockeral had a darker and larger comb at 8 weeks). Any how, how are the temperaments of the ameraucana roosters? I am hoping this cockeral will not become a mean flogging roo (or I will take him to the auction). He is getting huge and has just started crowing. It is a deep, long crow!
As to the coloring, they are supposed to be buff. The pullet\'s legs are too light, but the cockeral\'s legs are the correct color (as far as I gather from reading).

I can\'t wait for the pullet to start laying as she was hatched from blue eggs!
