He has sickle feathers. Those pointy shinny feathers are developing as males go threw puberty. His comb says male also.

This is my 2 Ameraucana 1 of these are a bantam. Do you think my 2 ameraucanas will conform to standard? Can you tell me if it's actually 2 pullets? Thanks

So pretty I think the 1st one is looking like a rooster (comb is wider/flatter & pink for its age. But, I have an easter egger hen...that looks very very similar in coloring...she didn't have the pink comb that young, but she sure does now...are you sure about their ages? *edit; I checked my hen and she has the partridge?* coloring throughout her chest also. Yours here seems to have solid colored chest, while in my wheatan ameraucanas, a solid colored chest is pullet usually, I think these maybe be the opposite? I think the 2nd one is a pullet (small comb, more defined center ridge, just looks girly to me). I don't think they breed true if their coloring isn't a recognized color for standard. So these (girls?!) Are easter eggers I believe.

Thank you I will take more pics of the comb. I take my 2 Ameraucana in a poultry and they said it's an Amaraucana but i know that's can be a wrong information, because they don't take care off the color pathern, they just breed i think. We learn from our mistakes.

I have a blue splash cockerel hatched a day earlier than yours. He was much smaller than the same-age wheaten cockerels and developed a small red comb later than they did as well. He just looked like a pullet, and I kept hoping the comb was just a different comb than most pullets. Sadly, he is starting to grow pointy hackle feathers and the odd pointy saddle feathers. Where did your bird come from?

he is a Paul Smith bird. I had god cull all my birds for me. Since i didn't get the chance to do it myself it left me grasping at what my human desires wished i had left.

As was mentioned above, your birds are not Ameraucanas because they do not meet the color standards. They are Easter Eggers. Come join us on the thread that celebrates these birds: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/273489/the-ee-braggers-thread/12120#post_11668559

From what I can see you have two pullets there. Very cute girls!
