Most EEs don't have wattles -- the beard that is typically seen from the Ameraucana in their ancestry replaces or at least seriously diminishes the wattles on both males and females.
You might want to read through this thread -- it's jam-packed with useful information. For example, most EEs are super easy to sex by color pattern long before 20 weeks.
Not necessarily true. Many EEs don't have Ameraucana in their ancestry. EEs came before Ameraucanas, and were developed from Quechua. Ameraucanas were developed from EEs. The Ameraucana website has a great page on the breed history that might interest you.
Also, there are plenty of clean-faced EEs who did indeed have wattles.
