Not being familiar with them, I'm not entirely sure (assuming they're true Ameraucanas). Photos attached. I only recently realized that there are varieties of Ameraucanas, and the hatchery didn't describe them by variety. Unfortunately, one of them appears to be a cockerel. I got 2 Ameraucanas...

Thanks! I'd assumed we would get the cicadas, but just looked at a map, and we're barely outside the zone. Maybe you could ship some down? ;) I lived through two other cycles in Maryland. It would have been nice to have a purpose for the little buggers! I'll never forget the time one crawled...
