Sexing help!

They were listed as Americana at Tractor supply. What makes you say Easter Egger? Is there a characteristic to tell?

Unfortunately, many people and stores sell birds that are labeled as Ameraucana when they are actually Easter eggers. EEs are not a pure breed in themselves, but they lay colored eggs like Ameraucana. From my understanding, pure Ameraucana are rare. Ameraucana always come in solid or almost solid colors.

I guess we’ll be trying a rooster collar-he is so sweet and snuggly!

Cockerel easter egger. Also, be careful with the snuggling. I've read far too many times where people snuggled their young cockerels and created horribly mean roosters.
