This isnt a picture of my chicken but it is one i found on google images that looks exactly like the one i have now.  Someone gave me 4 chickens about 5 or 6 months ago and i gave away all but 1.  The owner told me that they were all purebred australorps.  Well now the one i have now is 8 or 9 months old hen and it has a pea comb and muffs on its face like my easter egger.  Can any of you please tell me from the pic i attached if this is a black australorp or an ameraucana.

The thing that really caught my attention was when i got 2 blue/green eggs the other day and i have only 1 easter egger.  ( so i thought )     

But even weirder than that the new green egg i got was a double yolker the first time it layed an egg!  I cant believe i didnt notice it earlier than this but the chicken i have has muffs, a pea comb and blue legs.  Arent these typical signs of an easter egger?


Thanks in advance, boykin 2010

Not an australorp (we have them) ... they don't have the tufts around the face. Could be an egger but I've never seen a pure black one before. Anybody else?
