Wanting to verify if I have these chickens breeds identified correctly. After reading through all these post I do not have what I thought.
I’ll post pictures in comments.
Lessons I learned.
My “Ameraucanas” from McMurrays are actually just Easter eggers (bought in July ‘21)
If you buy at feed stores or friends give you hens they may not be what they think/thought.
Please let me know if I still have some wrong or if I have them correct.
Boy what a rabbit hole this has started because I wanted to get me some chocolate and olive eggs to add to my colors that isn’t gonna work out as I had hoped due to discovering the “Ameraucana” issue but I am loving the new knowledge that will help me going forward.

Look at the feet pads of the black birds. If white then Australorp. If yellow then Jersey Giant.

EE is an EE, already a mixed breed.
I will look at feet pads on black birds tomorrow. I will be surprised if Jersey because they seem same size or smaller than the other hens.

I need to reword the last EE one. I know she is a EE. I was trying to determine best guess what she came from. (So I was meaning she hatched from a barred rock over EE )
Thanks for your help
