Hi is this splash true ameraucana male or female? “She” is bigger than the other 2 month old pullets buy a decent amount and the noise “she” makes is different from the other pullets. Like a goose

Looks to be a female but i just want to be sure because they are sold as straight run best guess females when i checked their website. But when i went in person to pick it out they referred to the chicken as a she but just want to confirm.
 
Can I ask where you got her? I just got at least six black Ameraucanas from Cackle and I hope mine grow up to be this pretty!
 
What I got was 7 black Am pullets and a black cockerel, and 7 Black Australorp pullets. Plus at least 4 extras but not sure if they gave me 2 of each breed. At one time I counted 19 chicks total but since then my GC and I have both counted 21.

They can be difficult to tell
Well, I wasn't paying attention since I thought mine were pullets. And just didn't look or take pictures to look back on...

They look big for only 2 months, though?
I'll lean cockerel.
 
So ... good luck spotting the Ameraucanas! 🤣

Bottoms up!
Puffy cheeks are the easiest way to tell.
That's how I could tell my ameraucana chicks from the other lookalikes
Doesn't help when none are facing the camera
The two on the bottom right (with the leaf) the one on the right appears to have cheek puffs (ameraucana), and the one on the left appears to be plain faced (australorp)
