pic #1 pretty sure that lightest chick in the back is an EE.

pic #2 the chick looking directly into the camera is James Bond, I believe he could possibly be an Ameraucana and a roo

pic #4 the chick in the front is also a possible Ameraucana and I think a roo (see next pic)

pic # 5 Looks like a roo stance to me. This is the possible Ameraucana from prior pic

pic # 6 Here you can see the light ones feet.

So here's what happened. A friend of mine who has a breeding flock of Ameraucanas as well as EEs. She hatched 4 Ameraucana eggs and then gave me 3 chicks hatched out of EE eggs. In all my excitement I forgot which was which. Can you help? Now I understand the whole Ameraucana/EE thing. All 7 of the chicks could very well be EEs depending on the Ameraucanas traits, coloring, combs, feet etc. But do any of these look like they could be considered Ameraucanas? All the chicks are realatively 3 weeks of age (give or take due to hatching day). They all have slate legs or at least slate over pink. they all have poofy cheeks, although some more than others. They are all very flighty as well- a trait that probably has more to do with genetics and not breed.
 
Ha ha, very funny story. I don't know much, but maybe you could start by separating them by leg color?
 
That is a bunch of cuties! I would think your most likely suspect for EEs are the light chicks. The rest look like they are the correct coloration for black Ameraucanas.
