Are my chickens Americanas or EEs?

[CHICKENX2005]

Hi, I have 6 hens. I was wondering if they are ameraucanas or just EEs. They are 3 different colors 4 mostly dark brown. 1 light brown. 1 light more brown this one doesn't have a fluffy head though. I used to have 10 or more though and all the others had fluffy heads. They all played either very blue or blue but slightly more green eggs. And they all have pea comes. All their legs are a greenish color ( I guess that's what you call it ) and they all are the same size about 5 lbs. Thanks for the answers in advance.

That's an EE. Americana, or Americauna is the name some hatcheries give to their EEs to make them sell more

Greenish legs means EE.

They are Easter Eggers if they have green legs and some lack muffs/beards. Americana and Easter Egger are names used interchangeably for a mixed breed that has a blue egg layer in the mix. Ameraucana is a pure breed with slate or black legs.

I should probably show you a picture of the legs

There are two good ways to tell purebred Ameraucanas from Easter eggers. One is that Ameraucanas come in only a few specific color varieties. Two is that Ameraucanas have white skin while Easter eggers usually have yellow skin. To check skin color, look at the undersides of the feet. White or pinkish white means white skin. Yellow or yellowish green means yellow skin.

That is an Easter egger as its color pattern in not one of the few that purebred Ameraucanas should have.

Might want to give that hen's feet a close inspection. Looks like they might be a bit swollen.
