TS "ameraucana" what are they really??

[PaigeMaybush]

Got some chicks at Tractor Supply, they were labeled "ameraucana" but I've noticed that's NEVER what they really are. I'm completely clueless on what 2 chicks are that I have. Both are approximately 5 weeks old. (First 4 pics are "fluffy" the last 3 pics are "squeaky" the names my kids chose!) Both have green-ish legs

Any guesses?

Both are Easter Eggers, and the first one is a cockerel.

Normal ol Easter eggers. unless you pay at least $20 per chick, anything labled Americauna are easter eggers.

These are Easter Eggers, also known as Americanas.

Ameraucanas and Americanas are two different things. @EmmaRainboe wrote a great article explaining the difference, if you'd like to check it out.

And I agree, the first one may be a possible cockerel. Still to early to tell, though.

I've been thinking the first was a roo. But figured it was still a bit early to tell. But by the way it stands, acts, etc I was leaning towards roo.

The red patches on the shoulders means that it's definitely a boy.
