Hello,
I am new to raising chickens but have done a lot of reading and keep coming back to this website for advice. I am hoping someone can help... I purchased 4 chicks from Tractor supply 3ish weeks ago and I am wondering if the breed/sex of my chicks are what I asked for. Chick #1 is supposed to be a Ameraucana pullet, #2 Orpington pullet, #3 Gold sex-link pullet, and #4 Rhode Island Red from a straight run (I was hoping for it to be a female but I have several different homes available for her if “she” ends up being a “he”. I am mostly concerned that my Ameraucana appears to be a cockerel to me... and not an Ameraucana at all. Your input is greatly appreciated!

I think your Ameraucana is an Easter Egger. I think Ameraucaunas are supposed to have slate or black legs.How much did you pay for her? That is a good indicator of whether she is an Americauna or an Easter Egger
 
Is it too early to determine if the RIR is a pullet or cockerel? I was initially concerned because it has been much slower to feather than the others, but I know that does not indicate sex in all breeds. It is also a bit runty compared to the others.

Way to early to tell on the RIR. They need a few more weeks before we can tell.
