There are no blue wheaten Ameraucanas in that group. The arrows point to Easter eggers of mixed coloring.

Those came out of a blue wheatin bantam americanas pen. I bought the eggs to hatch. They were a very small bright blue egg.

One of those chicks shows gold partridge type of coloring, and the other two show silver based coloring.

Blue wheatens should always have the same standardized coloring. I'll put up a photo of what the coloring looks like as adults.

I'll try to get better pics tomorrow. They are a blue based. They have some red spots like in your picture. I have one that looks like the hen. Are hens and roos always those colors?

In the new group photo, the two on the left do look wheaten. I'm not sure if they are different birds or if the color was off in the other photo. The one on the right is not wheaten, and the one on the far left seems to lack a beard. So I'd be a little suspicious about these birds, myself. @EmmaRainboe raises Ameraucanas and may be able to help on this one.

I'll get more pics. Some are seramas. All the ones with the beards came out of the batch of blue wheatins. I bought those 2 breeds and Japanese black tails. The only ones I don't know anything about are the blue wheatin. Are they a breed of chicken that the hen is always yellowish? Roo is blue?

Do you have photos of the parent stock?
