EE, Araurana or Ameracauna? Pullets or cockrels?

[AlliJackson]

I purchased these chicks from Hoovers Hachery through TSC. These are the only 4 that survived from the 10 I ordered. Supposedly, they are all females. I am not positive on their exact breeds, other than they are Easter Eggers, Ameraucana or Araucana, so I need help identifying each breed. And please....please tell me they are all female. They are now just over 3 months old.

Two red sex links and two easter eggers with leg bar parentage, but I'm thinking the Easter eggers could be cockerels but at 16 weeks, probably pullets.

There's no red sex links.
I see cream legbar crosses, which are easter eggers.
I see possible production red...

The difference between easter eggers and ameraucana is that easter eggers are a cross that carries the blue egg gene. Ameraucana follow a breed specification, has muffs and beard, pea comb and slate eggs. They HAVE to lay blue. EE CAN lay blue; or green or brown or olive or even white. They can have muffs and beard, or not. They can have crests, or not. They can look like anything.
Araucana... now that's another breed. They're rumpless (in the US) and have tufts (they look like pigtails). The UK version has tails, crests, muffs and beard. They HAVE to lay blue.

Here's a younger pic of these four at about 5-6 weeks for another reference, if it helps at all.

Look most to me like olive eggers (a kind of easter egger). Possibly crested cream leg bar crossed with welsummer. A common olive egger type available through most hatcheries.

I’m not sure what breed they are because EE’s are mutts and can be a mix of different birds but I bought my first EE chicks from Hoover’s hatchery and they were all female. The one in my profile pic is one of them. Mine had pea combs but yours have a single comb which is harder to tell male from female. But Hoover’s hatchery tend to not make mistakes in sexing chicks. That I know of..

Here are updated photos. It does look like I may have 1 possibly 2 roosters. They were supposed to be all females from Hoovers.
