Need help identifying this chick’s breed

[Chimichangas]

I got this one at rural king, it was marked as an Americana, but it doesn’t look anything like one. What breed could it be?

Probably an Easter Egger.

Easter Egger means it is supposed to lay blue or green eggs but does not belong to any recognized pure breed.

There is a breed called "Ameraucana." Ameraucanas have specific physical traits.

Many hatcheries and stores sell chicks labelled "Americana" (not the same spelling as the Ameraucana breed.)

"Americana" usually means a chicken that looks something like an Ameraucana but does not meet the full standard for the breed (could have a non-standard color of feathers, other colors of feet, lack muff/beard on the face, etc.) Most of them will grow up to lay blue or green eggs, although a few will lay brown eggs instead. They are generally nice chickens to have in a backyard flock, but are not right for people who want to enter them in a show or breed purebred Ameraucanas.

She looks incredibly similar to my Easter Egger, except mine has a much darker head.
