Extra chick

[Party_Chicken]

We ordered 3 chicks from mt healthy and we got an extra. We think it’s an Americana.

It’s probably the same breed as what you ordered but a boy instead of a girl.

Or is this a brown leghorn and the one above is the Americana?

I'm not sure of the breed, but "Americana" isn't a real breed. It is a fake name used for Easter Eggers, typically in hatcheries, to make the buyer think they are getting a straightbred Ameraucana when they are actually getting an Easter Egger.

They look like Easter Eggers.

It might be easier to sort them out if you show photos of all 4 chicks, and tell how many you ordered of which breeds.

Unknown

Dark blue laced red wyandotte

unknown number 2

Splash maran

I think you're right about the Wyandotte (rose comb) and the Maran (feathered feet).

So it looks you've got two unknowns, and you ordered 1 "Americana" (Easter Egger.)
Probably both unknowns are Easter Eggers, and they are probably both pullets unless the hatchery made a mistake in the sexing.

From the hatchery's FAQ page:
https://www.mthealthy.com/faq
"We send a 2% margin of extras in every order. This is in the case that something we’re to happen in the shipping of the birds. The extra birds sent will always be something off your order.

Example: if you order all pullets, your extra will be a pullet. If you ordered broilers you’ll receive extra broiler(s)."
