Happy Saturday!

I got this chick from a local feed store who told me is an Ameraucana. After reading so many posts I started to believe I was told incorrectly. Would anyone care to help identify what I have? Maybe an Eastern Egger? I think his/her age is about 2-3 weeks, is there any way to tell whether it's a roo or pullet?
Thank you so much for your time. Have a great weekend.




 
Looks like an Easter egger. Right now it looks like a pullet, but it is too early to know for sure. Post pictures in another 3 to 4 weeks.
 
Since Easter Eggers are pretty much the mutts of the chicken world, it's hard to tell. Mine was pale yellow and is now white. Only thing I can tell you for sure is the leg color does usually indicate the egg color.

Leg color doesn't indicate egg color, earlobes are usually do. If they have white earlobes= white eggs, red earlobes= brown or blue/green eggs.
 
Didn't know chickens have earlobes. Wow.. Learning something new every day
Yup, breeds like Leghorns, Anconas, Andalusians, and Campines. Now there are a few breeds that have red earlobes (like Dorkings) and lay white eggs but the earlobe rule is mostly accurate.
 
what did its wing feathers look like when it was smaller i can tell by looking at pics of its wings when it was starting to grow its wing feathers if there equal its a rooster feather length uneven its s hen
