What could this be?

Here's the other one I bought as an Ameracauna (Chickietta) but I think she actually is one. Her and Riley look different. Their combs are different and Chickietta has very pronounced muffs even though they don't show up well in this picture.

Hi there! We got six chicks in March from a feed store that isn't well versed in their chickens. Two of them came from an incubator marked Ameracauna. Well apparently it was marked incorrectly because once I got them home I quickly realized that one was a Black Australorp. I have no idea what Riley, the other one is. I did get an Ameracauna out of another incubator and she is now laying geeen eggs. Anyone know what Riley could be? I'm not getting enough green/blue eggs to be coming from two chickens.

Well turns out I asked my question just a little too soon! I've gotten a green egg everyday this week and I know it's not coming from one chicken. One is a very pale green and the other is more a sage green. I don't know which girl started laying 1 1/2 months ago. I just assumed it was Chickietta because I knew for sure what she was. Now if my two Gold Brabanters would start laying so my assumption that they're both roosters, would go away, I'd be happy! Thanks for everyone's help! I think both Chickietta and Riley are beautiful!

Post pics of the Brabanters if you want. If they're they same age they'll be easy to sex.

Thank you. Should I just tuck them in this thread or do another one? They both look different which leads me to believe they're different sexes but I know neither is laying. And the neck coloring seems to suggest they're Roos. They're both six months old.
