looks like one boy and one girl to me. However, the one on the right looks like there may be some wattles coming in, in which case i think they'll be easter eggers (which just means it's a chicken that lays coloured eggs that doesn't conform to any of the SOPs for ameraucana purebreeds)-this doesn't make them any less of a chicken! They both look blue with nice lacing, although the heads are quite dark for blue. I think the one on the left is a boy, the right is a girl. The lacing is nice on them.....hopefully the one on the right will lay nice coloured eggs - either blue or green for you!

They look more aracana to me, a cockeral and a pullet. The male shows it especially the way the muff come out of his head more like tuffs but they are still young things can change.

The female on the right looks as if she may have a single comb, and a bit of leg feathering. If so, she is neither Ameraucana nor Araucana. If she actually has a pea comb and clean legs, I suspect from the look of them, that they are crossbred between the two breeds.
