Americana

It was a feed store. They ordered from the hatcheries.
And they sell EE as well

It was labeled as ameraucana
Not americana

Then that is dishonest, I’m sorry.

I have a couple “Ameraucanas” too. The hatcheries have disclaimers/explanations on their websites sometimes but this is a pet peeve of mine as well.

I agree with the others. She's looking like a pullet so far.

As for the color change question, its pretty common for a chick to start out one color and look completely different when they start to feather out. White chickens often start out yellow. Brown chipmunk coloring is common EE chick color but they'll look different as they grow.

But this was not chipmunk like.
She was all brown. I have been keeping chickens along time.
This one just stumped me.

With that coloration she wouldn't have chipmunk colored baby fuzz, completely regardless of the breed. Unfortunately you got scammed by the feed store EEs don't always have stripes, but a lot of the colors chickens come in and therefore EEs do. Do you have any baby pics of her?

No I don't think

No I don't think

I’d bet money it looked similar to this:

The chick down doesn’t matter. She’s an Easter Egger and feed stores are often wrong. Hopefully she’ll still lay colored eggs!

I believe so. That's pretty much exactly what she looked like she has her fluffy cheeks.

Also I paid for a Americana not a EE

Did you pay $25 per chick?
Hoovers doesn't carry real Ameracauna, only cackle, Meyers and I think ideal does.
"Easter egger" is trademarked by cackle.
