Ameraucana or Easter Egger

[oscardougal]

okay, here's a question-my chickens all look like this, but one of them has a full on comb-like big rubber glove kind of comb. Looking online even EE roosters have a small comb, yes? They are only laying one or two eggs a day so not sure if this one chicken is laying or if it's even a lady. All the eggs I have gotten so far are blue.
Will try to post some pictures when it gets light out.

Easter eggers can have single combs. I've owned one and seen several that do

ee's are mixed breeds which means they can look like anything the only thing they have in commen is that they have ameraucana or arucona(sp) in their background...post pics of all of them and we will be able to tell you if they are all hens or not

So, here are some pics of my questionable chicken-is it an Easter Egger with a giant comb or something else...

Also, I have noticed that all 5 have sort of irridescent (sp?) patches on their cheeks since they have started laying. Is this normal? I don't remember my last batch of chickens having this.
This questionable chicken is also the most tame, she lets me pick her up when all of my others are almost impossible to catch.

Yes, those are EE.
