Help telling mutt from true Ameraucanas

I agree, that looks like pea/straight comb cross. Not a bird you'd want to breed if you're going for standard.

I agree I do believe your off one is the first hen.

Here is a picture for reference of gold base color bleed-thru on a blue Ameraucana. This male was the brother of the black male I kept for breeding and you can see the gold in the wing starting to peek out.

Thanks for all the comments! I think we're keeping the second rooster. But now we have a new problem with the hens! We have them penned up separate from the rest of our chickens. One of them started laying a light brown egg. I figured it was the first one with the bad comb so I took her out of the pen. But I kept getting the light brown egg. So I guess the last hen, the one that looks more like an Ameraucana, is actually the mutt. The other one hasn't started laying yet. Hoping to get some blue eggs soon!
