Not an Ameraucana (which would have a puffy face and a pea comb), but could be an Easter Egger (some look like an Ameraucanas, but they don't have to.)

Where did you get this chick? Sometimes that helps narrow down the possibilities.

hi got them from Atwood’s the store outhere in kansas if it’s an Easter egger that’s awesome !!!!!!!
 
I'm thinking it's likely an Easter Egger, because I can't find many other possibilities.

The dark legs would be wrong for a Brown Leghorn, a Welsummer, a Barnevelder, and most others that hatch with stripes like that.

It "could" be an Indian Red Jungle Fowl, but I just don't expect to find those in most stores! I know there are a few hatcheries that sell them (really, something domesticated that looks like them), but I think Easter Egger is much more likely.

If you post photos again in a few weeks, someone may be able to figure out the breed.

Also in a few weeks, it will probably be possible to check the gender by the feather colors: a male will likely grow black feathers on his chest, while a female will grow brown or tan or salmon-colored chest feathers. (That's true for most but not all breeds that hatch out that color. Black chest reliably indicates a male, but brown chest is only mostly-accurate at identifying a female.)

As for what color eggs the chicken could produce, you'll only know for sure when you see them!
