I have a 6 week old chick sold to us as an Ameracauna chick and it looks completely different from its 3 other flock mates. Does anyone know what this chick could be and if it is a hen or rooster? Thanks in advance for your help.

He's an Easter-egger, and looks to be a male, yes. Very likely your other Ameraucanas are also Easter-eggers if they were sold in the same batch as him. It's sadly quite common for hatcheries to mislabel them as 'Americaunas', and feed stores and a lot of backyard breeders don't know any better and call them the same.
