Wheaten or Blue Wheaten Ameraucana? Hen or Rooster? Please Help!

I'm kinda in the same boat... But multiplied by 23!!!!

I hatched some eggs from TRUE Ameraucanas, not Easter Eggs. They were wheaten and blue wheaton. Can anyone help me to identify some colors / genders? I have everything under the sun: very light all the way around - someone told me they are splash??; light brown; dark brown; lots of blue everywhere; and some brown/black/blue.

Hoping to hear back from someone!

Thanks!!! :)

PS: Please ignore the blue copper maran roo in the background... ;)














 
So no one has a clue of what color these baby chicks will be????

I don't have ameraucanas, I have Faverolles, but I think the coloring works the same way.

With the hens, they will all have the wheaten coloring. The difference will be in the wing tips/tail tips/underfluff. Wheaten will have black in the wing/tail tips, and grey underfluff. Blue wheaten will have blue in the wing/tail tips and underfluff. Splash wheaten will have white wing/tail tips and underfluff.

Is this for roosters? I have a 2.5 week old that has a lot of color to her wings, almost partridge like. I'm concerned they are looking to"pretty" for a pullet.
 
the legs dont appear to be the right color for an ameraucana, they should be slate colored
If it is a blue wheaten, the lighter color is acceptable. They darken a little ad they mature. I hatched some this past april, and I have done some research.
