Ameracaunas?

[inwelynn]

Hello! This is my first forum post, so I hope I'm doing it correctly! I was given some day-old chicks for my birthday in September, so they are just about 7 weeks old. I was told they are Aracaunas, but after reading about the rarity of those, I doubt it! I was also told to expect green eggs. What do y'all think??

EE, and appears to be a pullet. Can we have a standing side picture to confirm?

EEs are basically mixed breeds and can lay lots of colors - blue, green, brown, pink, white - but it is likely you will get blue/green eggs. What type of comb does she have?

Thanks! Easter Egger was my guess, too! Feed store lied to my mother-in-law! I'm fine with it, though. I don't plan to show them, anyway! I kind of have a side view pic...I'll try to get better pics when I'm hanging out with them today!

In you thread title you have "Ameracauna" but in your post you have "Araucana". Those are both two different breeds. I agree with The KindaFarmGal that it is most likely an EE. Also here is some information on both of the said breeds above:

Yep, pretty EE pullet.

Oops, Chicken Girl1...I meant to say that my mother-in-law thought the feed store had them labeled "Aracauna", but after I looked those up, I realized definitely not; if anything, they'd be "Ameracaunas". Still, my gut was saying EE. I'll definitely read the links you shared because I'm always up for learning more, and sorry about the confusion!
