Ameraucana or Whiting True Blue?

[NCMomofFive]

I bought some Ameraucanas and some Whiting True Blues from Murray McMurray last year and they were not labeled. I have one hen I know for sure is a Whiting True Blue but I can’t tell which ones might be my roosters from the Ameraucanas. Does anyone know how I can tell them apart? Since both breeds have pea combs that’s not helping me much! I also have 2 completely white roosters so if either breed doesn’t have an all white one that would help me narrow it down. Thank you so much for your help! I’m relatively new at this and I would like to get my breeds separated so I can breed the same breeds together.

Unfortunately McMurrays Ams are Easter Eggers as are Whitings (even though they say they aren’t) so there’s not really a way to tell them apart as they could be any color. @EmmaRainboe or @Overo Mare might know of a way though.

So how do I know what a true Ameraucana breed looks like?

They are not a recognized breed, but do breed true for egg color (blue) unlike EE's

They are an unrecognized breed that breeds true for egg color, but not feather color. EEs don't breed true for egg color

Good point. Didn’t think about that
