I bought some chicks from a breeder. Roos are RIR and speckled sussex. Hens are ameraucana and sapphire. At least that's what I asked for. I thought daddy was RIR but the chick looks more speckled. Also looking at the face/pea comb, looks like a cockerel to me. Anybody know?

Pea comb but no muffs means the hens are Easter Eggers, not Ameraucana. And speckling is a recessive gene. You won't have a speckled chick unless both parents are speckled.
Probably too young to sex. A full body shot may help, though.
