Are these ameraucana or EE?

These two are on my local chicken group to be rehomed. They are labeled americauna. Are they? Thanks!

They are both cockerels. The first appears to be a true Ameraucana the second one I’m thinking is an Easter Egger or a really poor quality true Ameraucana.

Just making sure. Sometimes people pass off cockerels as pullets. My advice is to take the Blue Ameraucana cockerel.

I’m pretty the first one is an Ameraucana...
And forgive me because I might be wrong... the second one is probably an ameraucana too.

I can't put my finger on it, but something about the first doesn't look right for an Ameraucana. I think it may be a blue Easter Egger, the second looks like an Easter Egger.

Sure looks like a true Ameraucana to me. The leg color and beak color are right. If the bottoms of the feet are white then it’s definitely a true Ameraucana.

They're neither of them built like Ameraucanas, (Might just be young, but I doubt it) though the blue one might be able to pass for a poor-quality Ameraucana, due to the slate legs. They yellow-footed one is definitely an EE.

Also, if one's an EE, they're almost certainly both EEs.

EDT: Having white skin doesn't mean he's Ameraucana, it just means he inherited white skin from his parents.

The second one is an EE or olive egger for sure. The first one could be an americauna, but I agree with KikiLeigh-- something looks off about it. The beard isn't as full as a normal americauna beard, and the comb looks a little weird. So maybe lower quality americauna or maybe EE or OE. If you are looking to use it to sire pure americaunas, I would probably pass unless you can't find anything better.
