I think we got scammed from the feed store! Lol. Anyway, both are supposed to be female pullets almost 3 weeks old. And I don’t know much, granted. But Americana’s in the US are not supposed to have butts ? And I can’t find any with these colors! What are the sex and breed? Help!

Welcome!
Some hatcheries and feed stores call Easter Eggers by another name, sadly. You have at least one cockerel, and I'm not sure about the darker bird. Hope it's a pullet!
EE hens are often much better layers than the purebred Ameraucanas, who come in a few specific colors only. Look them up on the breed club website.
Vent sexing chicks is not ever 100% accurate, but feed store bins are famous for mislabeling their chicks , which is very annoying at best.
Purebred Ameraucanas are also going to be much more expensive than the EEs, and usually straight run too as chicks.

A pair. Male and female. Easter Eggers, BTW.
 
Just gonna say: Araucanas are rumpless, or, in other words, do not have butts. Ameraucanas were developed from the Araucana. They do, in fact, have butts. Easter eggers also do, and are hybrids from either breed. They also carry the blue egg gene.
Lighter cockerel, darker pullet
I agree with both statements 👍
