Beards and muffs do not make Ameraucanas nor EE. The colors and type make Ameraucanas and they don't conform to the standard. Most of us have EE too. I love that there is no standard and I can breed them the way I want. EE come in more color varieties than Ameraucanas.... another reason most of us have EE too.

What kind of comb does #3 have?

Here are face pics of all three chickens. Same order

You have 3 very pretty Easter Egger roosters there.

Edited to add...
5-6 months old? Hmmm, maybe #3 is female?

x2 I do think that #3 is female. Sorry.... can you call them to take them back?

Thanks, I looked today in the sun & he has orange with gold highlights so you are correct it is not the pic.

So, does this make him an EE & not an Ameraucana? IMO, either way he is a handsome devil

MyT Dogs,

Your birds hackle and saddle feathers look too golden, they are supposed to be a light orange color, not blonde. Could be the picture.

How are those emus doing??? They must be almost grown up by now?

Fred started limping a while back. I took him to the vet, and she said it was tissue (rather than bone) and to let him rest. It has been a slow recovery, but he is improving. Wilma is a wild woman and Fred still follows her lead.
