Is this an Ameraucana?

[BigBlueHen53]

I understand you there. I recently lost over half my flock to a weasel. Including to araucana cockerels I'd just purchased.

I lost half my flock earlier this year to foxes but all of my barnevelder and almost all my Easter egger survived. I lost all my wyandottes though

I wasn't including SOP or accepted colors, I knew I couldn't remember them all lol! Thanks for the link, I appreciate it. Last year I shipped in some very nice Silkies that cost me a fortune, and they were hard to train to roost inside. Sure enough one night a young badger dug into the pen and got all of them! First time I've ever had predator issues. I was heartbroken! My Ameraucana sure aren't show quality, but we like them lol. And I loved all the EE's I ever had. Beautiful birds.

I like my EEs more for their temperament and personalities than for their appearance, which I actually find to be a bit ... well. ..common. Some of them have pretty lacing, but... they are not exactly striking, like say, a Barnevelder. But they're just such such nice people! They're "cool," "chill," "laid-back," "unruffled," "relaxed," yet curious and alert birds. They mill about me like I'm some kind of celebrity when I go out to feed or open gates. I have to wade slowly through them because they all want to escort me to wherever I'm going. My boots, devoid of decoration, fascinate them. My movements intrigue. And after I toss out the scratch like - how did one poster put it? A Roman emperor tossong rose petals - they don't want to move out of my way if I have to pass back through them, say, to get to my car or my home or snything else inconsequential in their grand scheme of things. They're busy eating, why should THEY have to move??? They are just amusing. I thoroughly enjoy them.

Here is another update

Why does it look like my Red May have more of a comb the my ee? Was I given all Roos? Still early but maybe someone can spot it out.

Your just gonna have to wait. Both look somewhat like little roos.
But with Silkiess and EEs,
is hard as heck to know
till they lay an egg or crow!

Wondering what breed this may be and what sex? I purchased this little one at my local TSC and it was supposedly Ameracauna
I would like to get more information as I’ve heard that tsc dislabels most chick breeds. My husband said it looks like it will be a rooster?

If it was under 20 bucks, it’s an Easter Egger, but the feed stores always call them Ameracaunas. It does look like it has some Ameracauna in it with those cute puffy cheeks

The red looks like it has more comb because if the comb type. Single combs stick out a lot more than pea combs. As for sex, not sure on the red but the EE is a cockerel. You can see how much comb growth he already has and those huge legs.

Here is an update. This EE is about 8 weeks and a few days old. I’m so confused wether a roo or pullet. Also my other chickens were supposed to be all pullets!
