Ameraucana vs easter egger

[goldfinches]

To simplify things for you. To be considered a true Ameraucana it has to lay blue eggs, have a pea comb, white skin, both a beard and a muff, and slate blue (or blackish) legs. If it lays any color of egg other than blue, or if it has any type of comb other than a pea comb, or if its skin is any color other than white, or if it lacks either a muff or a beard, or if it has any color of legs other than slate blue (or blackish), it is an Easter Egger and not a true Ameraucana. I hope this helps. )

Sort of. They also have to be one of the 8 colors recognized as true breeds.

True, but that becomes more complex and I was giving a quick lesson how to know at a glance that it was not an Ameraucana, but an EE. )

Thank you so much that was extremely helpful! I appreciate you answering the question and simplifying it for me. It's difficult to pick out the correct information when there is so much of out there and some that is contradictory. You have definitely helped in my learning!
