Only time will tell. You should still have some hatch though. Although humidity seems a bit high.

Can anyone help me ? I got six baby ameraucana and would really like to know if anyone knows how to sex them

Post the pics. How old are they? Definitely some people on here that can help.

Depends on ambient temperature where your incubator is. If the core temperature of the eggs didn't drop below 96, you're probably ok. If the incubator is outside and the ambient temperature was cold, then the core temperature of those eggs probably dropped below 96. If the incubator is inside your house, or in an insulated, heated building, then you could be fine.

What was the temperature in the incubator when the power came back on? Do you know how low it got inside the incubator?

And what day of incubation was it on?

Only time will tell now. If the incubator didn't get down below 96, then it is unlikely the core temps of the eggs got below that. Let us know how it goes.

It's very possible there is Ameraucana in Abe's background, but because his coloring doesn't conform to the (very strict) standard of perfection for Ameraucanas, he is considered an Easter Egger. Ameraucanas, I believe, are the only breed out there that have the beard and muffs. But Ameraucanas also have slate or black legs and white skin. To see some pictures of the standards, check out this gallery:

Silkies can have beards and muffs too... As well as many other breeds..

True, but Silkies also have feathered legs (dominant gene) and black skin (another dominant gene).

she acts like she is a girl and is much much lighter than the boys.

The cream colored chest is definitely pullet.
