The darker chick has a pea comb, and the lighter chick has a single comb.

Ameraucanas and Whiting True Blues are supposed to have pea combs, so the darker chick is one of those.

Whiting True Greens are supposed to have single combs, so your lighter chick is the Whiting True Green.

For the darker chick, you might be able to sort it out when she gets older, because Whiting True Blues would have more of a Leghorn body type, while Ameraucanas would have more of a dual purpose body type. Or you might never know for sure, but she'll probably be a great chicken even if you don't know what to call her

Thank you for this great info!!

Hello, once your chicks are older (around 7-8 weeks), you can post pictures of them on this forum for help with breed: What Breed Or Gender is This?
