Well this really isn't a breed or gender question but I thought this was the best place to post this.

Here are 5 chicks that I just hatched out from some eggs that I purchased with some Black Australorp eggs. I don't know much about Ameraucanas and they are very cute chicks so I would like to find out what color to call these. Thanks for any help you can give.

Chick 1 (ok, I'm pretty sure this one is going to be a Buff)

They Look like Easter egger chicks(mixed breed coloured egg layers with beards and muffs that hatcheries sell as Araucana/Ameraucana) to me so they will feather out to who knows what unidentifiable colour(since they are a mixed breed), so you can call them whatever your heart feels like.

They sure are cute!!

From the EE chicks I have and have had, I would say the first one is going to be a mixture of light brown and white. The yellow usually turns white. The others will be pretty much the same darkish mix. Just a guess from my experience these past two years.
 
They're very cute chicks! What color eggs did the seller send you? Were they blue or green? If they were green eggs, your chicks are easter eggers (which is the kind I have & love). Most ameraucana breeders would let you know what color ameraucanas to expect, but many egg sellers don't realize the difference and think they are sending 'ameraucana' eggs out, but they're really sending what we know as EE's.
