ameraucana or just an ee?

[Jessicainga]

I got my chicks at a feed store, they were labled araucana. Since I knew nothing of the breed I did a little research and decided they were ameraucanas. Then I was told they were just ees.

Chickadee shows signs of beard

Fluffy also looks bearded.

They are EEs. Any that don't meet breed standard for Ameraucana (which is limited to only 8 colors) but have the blue shell gene are considered EEs. Hatchery chicks are almost exclusively EEs.

Good to know. Thanks. Doesn't matter to me either way but I was very curious.
