Got them and we’re told they were female but now not so sure. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

It is very tough to sex americaunas at this age. One thing to watch is their comb, this will be the first sign! One row (which they all have right now) is a pullet, as they grow if two more rows (one on each side of the row now) pop up it's a cockerel.
I love the guessing game at this age and trying to figure out from their behavior if they are a pullet or a cockerel but it's only a guessing game.
 
They are EE and they are too young to sex but number three has a large comb for being only 4 weeks old. Post when they are 6 to 8 weeks old.
 
Thank you for the replies. I’ll try to get better pictures of their combs. Number 3 is a bully as well and we think it’s a boy. Hoping we are wrong.
 
Agreed that #3 has some real chance of being a boy, but too young to confirm. Also agree, easter eggers, not Ameraucanas, regardless of what the seller said they were.
 
Here’s the comb a few days later.
