Is it to early to tell? (Ameraucana possible Roo)

Hey everyone! My chicks are a little over 3 weeks old. I have a Barred Rock and an Ameraucana. The Ameraucana is significantly larger than the Rock and somebody told me that he/she looks and acts like a rooster. Thoughts?

It's hard to tell at this age, but your EE so far looks like a pullet.

Thanks! That's good to hear... she definitely is the bossy one of the bunch bunch By EE do you mean she is an easter egger and not an Ameraucana? She was sold in the feed store as an Ameraucana...they had a variety of colors though. She was one of the light ones. I am a little confused by the difference.

Yes I mean Easter Egger. All the feed stores say Ameraucana but in reality they are EE. There are a couple of hatcheries that do sell Ameraucana , but most are EE.
