    Americauna or Easter Egger?

    I recently adopted three chickens, and one was said to be an Americauna. In my opinion, this chicken (named Bunny :) ) looks like an Easter Egger. She is also said to lay blue eggs, she hasn’t laid any yet. Thoughts?

    Americana Hen or Roo?

    What do you folks think? He/she is very silly and the older hens seem to ignore him/her. It’s always running around flapping.
