Ameraucana ? Pullet or cockerel

[WhatTheCluck89]

Hello all, hoping to get some guidance/ opinions. I have 13, 5 week old chicks, purchased as wheaten ameraucanas ( or blue, or splash if I'm not mistaken) from a local breeder. I'm trying to figure out who is what ect. Please let me know your thoughts, I do not have detailed pictures of each , but I tried my best to get as many photos of the different colors that seem to be coming about.

Sorry about the photos, I have a great camera phone until I attempt to take pictures of chickens .

5 is male. 6 may be.

Also, they are Easter Eggers mutts, not pure Ameraucanas.

I think it is a little too early for certainty, but I agree that #5 is looking like a cockerel. Repost in a couple of weeks if it isn't clear by then.

What is saying not ameraucana? Are you the official ameraucana inspector around here? not trying to argue, but I just want to know for my own good. They have pea combs, pink legs that are turning slate, same colors as others who have posted on BYC, cheeks beards ... or so I though...

I am seeing some clear yellow skin, a few missing muffs, DEFINITELY impure colors, and lopsided large combs (consistent with carrying a single comb gene)
I kinda am. I know my stuff…I actually made a thread about it.
@EmmaRainboe has an article about it too.

I did read the article, this happened last time I took pictures of my pullets and current roo. But it's all good I know your just trying to inform the people.Thank you for responding ✌ maybe I will post again when they get older.

@TheOddOneOut is correct - not pure Ameraucanas. I actually raise wheaten ameraucanas

Nonetheless, I also have some EEs which are good for their own reasons.

EEs definitely are wonderful. I have a few of my own.
