Trying to figure out the breed of my chicken ❤️

[red1407]

You hey everyone! I have a chicken that I got from rural king last June. She was labeled as a black australorp but I know that not to be true bc she lays light blue eggs. I’m not sure but I had a friend tell me she thinks she’s an Easter egger. She said she has Easter Eggers without the fluffy cheeks and beard. What do you all think? She is about 10 months old and is broody right now if that helps at all. Thank you!

Yes, Easter Egger!

Her face doesn’t look puffy enough for an Easter eaher, but I might be wrong.

She appears to be an Easter Egger!

Easter Eggers have no breed standard, they do not have to possess the muffs or the beard.

Prairie Bluebell Egger (basically an Easter Egger w/ Leghorn in the mix)

Here is our Prairie Bluebell for comparison. She lays light blue eggs and was also sold in a bin full of Australorps

See that’s what I said but my friend has Easter Eggers and a few of hers don’t have puffy faces either! I don’t know but I’m leaning toward Easter egger

Yep! All of our Easter Eggers have eventually started laying sandpaper eggs. We recently had to give her a round of Calcium Citrate + D3 because her eggs started to get thin. It has improved her egg quality a lot.
