What colour are these Roos?

[Sammsy]

Hello! We’ve got two Ameraucana (as we were told, I believe they may be EE) Roosters that we are hoping someone might be able to help us figure out what colour they are. They were hatched this year in January.
Here is the first one:

And here is Roo number two:

And here are the two together:

Thank you for any insight!

Hi.

You are correct that they are Easter Eggers and commonly sold not conforming to any standard of perfection but said to be "representative of the breed".. their closest color with regards to what the Ameraucana standard is, might be silver.. though that's clearly not accurate.. see the following link for photos of the standard colors (not actually applicable to EE but for reference)..

Thank you so much for confirming my suspicions lol - I appreciate the references, that at least gives us a good visual idea of what the standard colours are. We will have to be more careful with selecting a reputable breeder when we next decide to introduce some new birds to the flock to get true Ameraucanas. Live and learn!
