Ameraucana male or female?

[khixson]

Our chicks are approx 8 weeks old. We were told they were female Ameraucanas but as they grew we noticed these 2 began to look very different. Are they both female, just different breed? The light colored one is making a squawking sound now as opposed to a peep like the rest.

Looks like they are easter eggers, not actually purebred ameraucanas To me, I don't see anything about them that says 'cockerel'.

Yes, those are Easter Eggers. It’s difficult to tell with the picture, but I think you have two pullets. Though the darker one could be a cockerel; I’d need a better picture to be sure.

Since they’re EE, the coloring doesn’t really mean anything. They may look different, but it’s just because they’re mixed.
