Those are close to 'Silver' Ameraucana, but not quite.

Oh, I know they're Easter Eggers, not Americaunas, I have no illusions about that.

EEs are what I wanted. So there is 'Silver' Ameraucana in them...somewhere. that's nice to know. I don't suppose you recognize any other breed traits in that mess?

I doubt they have Ameraucana in them. Silver Ameraucana are one of the rarest varieties. More likely they are just silver partridge 'pure' Easter Egger. Beaks are yellowish, and the legs are green, with yellow showing through. Ameraucana have white skin, and it's a dominant trait.

None yet, they are just now coming up on 19 weeks. TTYTT, I have never gotten an egg on the first year from a 'spring chick' (one born after March). My guess is by the time they get of age the days have gotten too short so the naturally shut down for the winter. But then again, these are my first Easter Eggers, and that comb on Muffins is getting rather dark. None have been squatting yet though.
