I have 4 Ameraucanas (or supposed to have), so I was coming to ask if the 4 are indeed the Ameraucanas? (This is just 1 hen, but all 4 are identical. One from Orschlens and the other 3 from Cackle Hatchery.) I'm having a hard time distinguishing my Ameraucana eggs from my EE eggs. The more eggs i get, the more im confused as to whats Ameraucanas and whats Easter Eggers. I do get 4 eggs that are slightly bluer and smaller than all the others, so im assuming those are the A eggs? Thats assuming they are indeed pure As? Can EE eggs be the same blue as A eggs? I have no luck with the blue interrior egg shell color, as ALL of them have blue interior egg colors. Some are easy to see the whiter interior base, but most are blue. There was 1 egg that i thought was an EE egg, but the exterior and interior are the same shade blue. This is confusing, lol.

EE.

Which ones are the ones from Cackle? Cackle has pure Ameraucanas.
This hen (all the photos are of the same hen) is identical to the other 3. All 4 are identical so im not sure which 3 are from Cackle, and which is the one from Orschlens. Being they are all 4 identical, and from seperate places, i assume they are pure, but the eggs and colors confuse me.
 
The 4 in question are the only ones this color. All the obvious EE are typical EE colors aside from one solid grey (blue/lavender) and one solid black.
 
Those birds are Easter Eggers if they all look like the bird in question. It does not have any traits of a pure Ameraucana other than a (sparse) beard/muffs.
 
I just went in there and told them i wanted 3 Ameraucanas. I didn't specify which color, and they didn't ask. But her (their) leggs aren't yellow. Theyre dark.

They probably gave you EEs then. Normally if the color isn’t listed it’s an EE.
 
What are the traits of a pure Ameraucana?
