They look like Ameraucana so far. One splash one blue, both have muffs and beards, pea combs, and white skin. I assume you just accidentally misspelled the name. I would not hop on the Easter Egger bandwagon yet. Too young to sex

It may be lighting- however, those look like green leggies to me.

I'm pretty sure the splash one has white skin, however I'm less confident on the blue from the glimpse that I can see that it's skin is white. Better lighting would always help though

As of right now I dont see anything showing them to not be ameraucanas?

The blue chick has a single comb, so that could indicate them being EEs. Since the chicks have all other amerucana traits, I think the chicks are ameraucanas but the blue one got recessive single comb genes.

It’s not about being show quality. Ameraucanas have a specific set of features that set the aside from Easter Eggers.
