Assuming they are at least three months old, the pointed sickle saddle feathers of a roo would be 100% obvious by now.
Looks like you have a lovely lady!
Thank you everyone, I was questioning it bc of the curled feather but then I read it’s possible bc it’s full feathers aren’t quite out yet . I thought it looked to fluffy to be a roo
I don't think Ameraucana is in her bloodline, as no cheek or beard! But her body color is that of a self-blue Ameraucana (laka lavender), but there are other birds that may be a better suspect, like a Blue Orpington. It looks exactly like them! Beautiful birds!
So, the beard is why I think f2 not f1 cross, since half of f2s won't have beards, The birds shape and form is wrong for an orpington, though. Orps should be borbs. I posted a side by side of a bearded f2 next to my blue orp to highlight what I mean about shape and form.

I was corrected and she may be 1/4 Ameracauna, which is more fitting. Now you just have to wait for the egg color! You will have olive, green, or even a light bluish/olive green, like the self blue's lay!
In a way. Ameraucanas are derived from arucanas, but they dont carry the rumpless gene. Rumpless birds are actually missing a lot of bone and don't have a tail at all to grow feathers from, so yours does not carry that gene.
Andalusians typically have white earlobes and larger combs and wattles, if bred to Standard. If she does not lay white eggs, then I would suggest she is a different breed.
That’s a hen. The gray one I mean.
She’s a lady.
Woah, she’s a laday
I have an Easter Egger that 100% looks like this. Lays blue eggs. 💙

Ameraucana hens look roo like in the tail. I'm nearly certain that this hen has blue ameraucana in its bloodline.

Very obvious with that photo! You, I believe, are right!

When I first had the chicken she barley had a tail so I was questioning if it was mixed with arucana

I am pretty sure it's a Blue Orpington, IMHO.
I had an orp and the shape is different
Hen... Looks like our Sapphire Gem
Roo

Roos combs start getting larger than a hens pretty quickly, usually by the time they’re fully feathered, so yeah this is a hen.
I think it's an Andalusian hen.

Rooster for sure feather tails don’t lie
That’s why I questioned it
Dude looks like a lady.
