Hi all, we got 6 sexed day old chicks from a hatchery, but I have my suspicions about our Ameraucana.

Hello there
This appears to be a cockerel.
Important to note also that it isn't an ameraucana but instead would be called an Easter Egger.
Although you will still
Most likely get your colored eggs with EE's,(probably green opposed to blue) Ameraucanas follow very strict breed standards - feather and leg color, general appearance, etc. although a very nice looking bird, EE none the less
Interesting. What characteristics do you see at this age that would make you think it is an EE instead of an Amauricana? We were thinking it’s a silver Amauricana.Hello there

It very well could be an Americana, which isn't an Ameraucana. Hatcheries and breeders have deployed countless naming techniques that trick folks into buying something they believe is a purebred chicken, but isn't. Ameraucanas are exceptionally difficult to properly breed because they have so many unique characteristics that are tough to achieve consistently. HInteresting.
