I have no idea what the heck Hoovers Hatchery gave me

Apologies that my post made things more confusing

The bird is an "Easter Egger".
Hoovers has multiple names, so that makes things more confusing, but you're correct that they don't sell Ameraucana.

(Below might make it more confusing. Feel free to skip.)

Hoovers markets both "Americana" and "Easter Egger". In reality, BOTH are Easter Eggers, as neither of them are the Ameraucana breed.

Some of them might have an ancestor who was an Ameraucana. With easter eggers, when you see beard and muffs, it's often associated with ameraucana.

Okay thank you. She defiently has some traits of a black amercuana ancestor!

I ordered 20 chicks from Hoovers Hatchery this spring. I dint plan on keeping all and am going to split the order with a trusted friend. These chicks are now fully feathered and now 10 and a half weeks old. I ordered the five of the egger mix, five of the Wyandotte mix, five black Astralrops and five sapphire gems. (The first two are the ones am not sure are roos or not; the last two just a girl for reference)

I know I have two Colombian Wyandotte, and three golden laced Wyandotte. (I added a photo just to be 100 % sure I am right.)

I am pretty sure which ae the five sapphire gems. They are also different shades. Two of the gems didn't get their tails, which are still shorter until later. They have some signs of being roosters. Are they?
I know which five are the black astralorps, as i don have any othr black breeds. However one has a different comb and muffs, like amercuanas have. However Hoovers Hatchery doesn't even sell Amercuanas. There is no way that on is a egger because there is n others that could be the fifth black astralorp. Will hoovers Hatchery throw in random filler chicks? They looked the same as chicks and are still pretty similar... (The first photo has the muffed one in the bac and a black astralorp in the front. The second two photos are just the black one with muffs.)

I have a good idea who the five eggers are, but not sure what mix of breeds/ what egg color they will lay. I have three of the red ones (The first two photos) and haven't seen any online pictures of similar eggers. I have two of these light brown ones (the last three photos), which are really pretty! I also haven't found any pictures that really resemble them. Is there a chance they won't lay colorful eggs?

Picture number 3, the Australorp lloking at the camera, might be a male as his wattles look red and comb is big and red.
