Ameraucana or Easter Egger

[MaGlockner]

Hello - she's 5 weeks old tomorrow. Which would you vote? Ameraucana or Easter Egger? She was sold as an Ameraucana.

Easter egger because of her coloring. Most commercially sourced 'Americanas' are Easter Eggers.

Nice Easter Egger!

Definitely not an Ameraucana.
Incorrect color/pattern. Incorrect leg color. No muffs or beard.

Look up the Ameraucana breed club website, and see what they look like.
EEs are very nice birds, and likely to produce more eggs than many purebreds, so enjoy her.

True Ameracaunas are only solid colors or maybe splash...I never know what the right spelling is but it makes a difference. I think it's a bit dishonest of the hatcheries to do that though.

Lovely bird, looks very much like our Easter Egger but ours have mutton chops.

Her name is Gypsy. She's a great little girl, and I don't really care either way, just wondered.

Ameraucana are recognized in some non solid colors. These are the accepted varieties.
Blue
Brown Red
Buff
Silver
Wheaten
Black
White
And I believe self blue is now recognized.
