Unknown breed/gender of chicks!!

Granted not all EEs have beards/puffy cheeks, just that would be an indicator that she might be one... as was asked before, where did you get them?

The coloring of him/her is like that of a Red or Brown Sex-link... but Sex-links don't have beards. Maybe he/she just has an overly fluffy cute face, and it isn't a true beard. Can you tell what kind of comb it has?

I’ll let you know what kind of comb it has when I get home. It was sold to me as an “Ameraucana” and I could tell from the pattern that it wasn’t a true one and an EE. Fingers crossed it’s a variation of an EE and not a Sex-link

I got them from a local breeder like I said in my initial caption, I hope she was reliable because I really wanted an Ameraucana and when I saw I just wanted an EE!!

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't catch that part.
A lot of people mistakenly call Easter Eggers Ameraucanas. Ameraucanas are very pricey and seem to be rare. Easter Eggers can be almost any color, with beards or puffy cheeks or neither. It is my understanding that they are just a cross of not really any breeds in particular.
I have several and I really love them! They tend to be a little skittish but lay beautiful eggs.

I've only had them for a day (which makes them 5 days old) and their feathers are growing quickly! Does that make them more likely to be a rooster? They're developing at a very high rate.

Aw shucks, I was really hoping it'd be a Buff Ameraucana, but I guess not

The BLRW already had tail feathers growing in!! Does that mean it's a rooster??

The yellow one is most likely an easter egger, but it could possibly be an ameraucana.

Oh my goodness!! Thank you for your insight, fingers crossed she's an Ameraucana!!

The yellow one can't be an Ameraucana, its legs are yellow which a true Ameraucana does not have. Easter Egger is a name given to a mix that usually has muffed cheeks, pea comb, slate colored legs, and lays colored eggs. I say usually because since its a mix it doesn't need to have those characteristic and different people have different 'standards' for the term Easter Egger. Feather growth is only an indication of a gender in certain breeds bred for that purpose. Right now your chicks are to young to sex but they aren't showing any indication of being cockerels yet.
