Ameraucana and Mystery Roosters

[SunnyBlueBird]

We ordered from Murray McMurray last year - order was supposed to be 2 Buff Orpingtons, 2 Delawares, 1 Blue Andalusian (turned out to be black), 1 Ameraucana and 1 surprise. The Buffs, Delawares, and Andalusian were all pretty easy to sort out. However, the Ameraucana and the surprise both are roosters and neither look what I thought an Ameraucana rooster would look like. Please help with identification.

Often hatcheries will say they are selling Ameraucanas when in reality they are selling Easter eggers. That is what I think the boy in the first picture is, an Easter egger. Not sure about the second one. Maybe splash Andalusian, or maybe some type of hatchery hybrid.

Thank you! That is very frustrating about the Ameraucanas. I was seeing that feedback as I just reading other posts. We were intentionally purchasing from a hatchery that had Ameraucanas and not Easter Eggers so our kids could show them. As for rooster 2, you could be right about Andalusian. Looks a lot like one of the ones they now have in a photo on their site.
