Posted this before but got lost, and got a better picture of her/his face.
 
Still early to tell, possible boy based on comb and legs (they look pretty long) but no hackel or saddle feathers yet, but some don't get those till 12-20 weeks

I can't find the pics right now but i had 2 (lavender orpingtons) 10 weeks apart in age the younger at 10 weeks was very clearly a male but the older at 20 wks was still debatably a female confirmed male about 2 weeks later.
 
Nice little easter egger....not a true ameraucana, common mistepresentation in chicken sales.
Gender is a bit iffy....comb is developing early, but not a characteristic 3 row pea comb of a cockerel. Did he/she exert themselves avoiding being caught forthe photo op.... that can cause a decent temporary coloring of th visible flesh like the comb

I really hope she isn't a male but really seems like it is!

Easter eggers are prettier anyway And its always tinted a little red.
