I recently bought this trip and I’m curious how true of silver ameracauna these look? I’ve read the pea combs are supposed to be smaller and the roosters is large. Any good info at all is appreciated❤️❤️

They are beautiful birds, but they're Easter-eggers, not Silver Ameraucanas. Those hens have the wrong pattern for Silver Ams, and the male, near as I can tell, has the wrong comb type and possibly yellow skin; Ameraucanas should only ever have white skin with slate shanks.

I agree.
 
Definitely Easter Eggers. One of the hens has no muffs or beard. Neither of the females are patterned correctly. And the male has a modified pea comb. I can't tell if the legs on them are slate or willow, but if there's any green to the legs, they have yellow skin, which also points to mixed heritage. I devoutly hope you didn't pay a lot for these birds.
