Americauna banty hen? Please help.

We have another hen (we think is a hen) that we are having some level of difficulty identifying. We were told Americauna based on her tufts on her cheeks but not sure. Any opinions greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I don't think she fits the standard for an Ameraucana - at least none I've ever seen. I will leave that to the Ameraucana police though. Looks more like an EE to me.

I wanted to point out that Ameraucana and EEs do not have tufts - they have MUFFS/BEARD. Tufts and Muffs are two different genes and look completely different.

How old is "she"? That may help in identifying the gender. Whatever it is, it is a cute little bird.

We think she is approximately 4-5 months old. I could get a closer picture if need be.
