    ID my chickens! Easter eggers?

    This odd looking chap and his sister were given to us as chicks following a school hatching project. I must admit I kind of like them :) We had no idea what they were,but I've done a bit of looking around and decided they must be in some part related to the araucana family due to the long necks...
