PLEASE TELL ME THAT DOESNT MEANT THERE COCKERALS! i was really looking forward to some blue eggs, and i am already attached to them! HELP!

To young to tell. All of mine do that occasionally, just establishing dominance and playing. My Ameraucana has a go at my dog today! Totally normal!

Post once they are 6-8 weeks for gender!

Pullets as well as cockerels spar or mock fight. Your chicks are Easter Eggers , but should most likely produce blue or blue/green eggs and will be beautiful birds.

My pullet at the bottom of the pecking order (also the smallest in the coop now) will occasionally spar with the others. She will full on stretch out her neck and stand up all her feathers and charge from time to time. The other girls pick on her sometimes so she needs to be tough, and I have witnessed her lay an egg so I know she's a girl.

They look like they could be pullets but you should be able to tell more in the next few weeks.

these actually are americanas. the pic do not properly show their beards and muffs, they have passed the Americana test. let me get you a better pic!

'Americana' is not a breed - it is a name given to EE type chickens by hatcheries and then by sellers. Your chicks are not a recognized Ameraucana color.

I agree with them being EEs as well.

No offense, but this is your first time with chicks right? So your first time with Ameraucanas too. These people that are replying to you saying that you have EEs have probably had experience with Ameraucanas, owning them or even breeding them. I would think that they know what they are talking about. Also, while they may have the beard/muff that is not a recognized color of a true Ameraucana,
