Ameracauna? Or EE? Female or males?

3 week old chicks, super sweet especially one of the yellow and the brown one. The 2 pics of the brown one are the same bird. Anyone have an older bird that looked like any of these as a baby? I just love all the little ones! My first chicks! Really hoping I’ll be able to keep them all. I have s prior post with the 3 astrolorps snd 3 rustic ramblers, not pictured, also very sweet!

@Brahma Chicken5000, can you help?

Where did you get them? The first 3 pictures are of Easter Eggers, the fourth picture could be a True Ameruacana.

They are Easter Eggers and they are too young to tell the sex. If the brown bird has a three row comb, I’d keep an eye on him.

I got them at Goods Feed store in East Earl, PA. I read that Feed stores often don’t sell the real Ameracauna and that usually you get Easter Eggers. The gray and brown one do have gray legs the yellow ones legs sometimes look green and sometimes look gray. Thanks for your input!

The brown ones comb looks like little bumps all over, not rows. Thanks for your input!

You are correct when you heard that feed stores don't sell americaunas but rather Ee's. True Americaunas are hard to find and you need to find a reliable breeder. But Ee's are wonderful. Lots of personality and colored eggs to boot!

If you bought them at a feed store than they are most definitely Easter Eggers.

Hopefully they are mostly female, the breed isn’t very important to me, since I am new to raising chickens. Two of them are super sweet and two are a little less social, but still agreeable, and they were really cute and are becoming very pretty.
