Sex and breed 13 week chicken

[mvanland16]

We were told this was an Ameraucana female but her puffy cheeks seem more Easter Egger? I admittedly know little about chickens but her pointed feathers worry me a bit. Please advise on breed and whether she is roo. Thanks you for all your help.

She has female coloring, no pointed feathers, just v shaped marks that create illusion.
Unless you paid $20 for her as a chick, she's an ee, they're often marketed as Americauna.

When I google checked your pictures, half came up Ameraucana and half came up Easter egger. Perhaps she's both?

She's an Easter egger or often sold as Americauna, only purebred, reconized color, Ameracauna can be called Ameracauna. :]

Welcome to BYC!

True Ameraucana will all have beards and muffs. SO that's not the give away.. They also have white skin.. so no green legs which are caused by yellow skin under the slate shanks like your gal has. And as noted only come in specific and project colors.. not this one.. (which might be called wild type??)

I agree however that your lady is an Easter Egger pullet.. the pattern making rounded feathers LOOK pointy.

I have two that are a close resemblance to her. Mine are called Starlight Easter Eggers, mixed breeds. It will be fun to see what color eggs she lays.
