Did Tractor supply mess up? Help me identify sex and breed please!

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!

To me they all look represented. Just not labeled correctly in your pics. Based on their order the natural light pics I'd say RR, Ameraucauna, Buff, and Sexlink.

As far as Ameraucauna vs EE that's up for debate. Much confusion between the two. Ultimately in a mixed flock it doesn't matter.

Looking at them now in your order makes complete sense! I knew the store messed up, I just didn’t realize they were 100% wrong.

Agree with above assessments, except the "Ameraucana" is in fact a lovely Easter Egger. :) Legs may be slate, but this isn't a determining factor. Coloration tells the story. No recognized Ameraucana varieties appear similarly.

Also, I'm leaning towards cockerel on the Production Red. :D
