Americanas or Easter Eggers

[ChickNanny13]

Purchased 2 RIR & 2 AM pullets, are they Americana or Easter Eggers? They were hatched on Oct 14th, almost 6wks.

What color are their legs? Ameraucanas should be slate colored, and they should have fluffy faces. Those are probably EEs

Those look like Easter Eggers.

They are definitely Easter Eggers. EE's only come in a few colors (Blue Wheaten, Wheaten, Black, Buff, Blue, Brown Red, Silver, and White) and must have slate legs. Also, the only hatchery that sells true Ameras is Meyer hatchery, if you got them from any other hatchery, or from a feed store than they are definitely EE's. Don't worry though, there is nothing wrong with EE's, Enjoy those colorful eggs!

X2 on mymilliefleur. Also, true Ameraucanas always have muffs. Hatcheries and feed stores frequently and incorrectly market their EEs as Ameraucanas.

That's what I was thinking, EEs not Ameracana, they do have slate colored legs but don't matter what they are, just was curious as to what you all thought. Thanks for your inputs, love BYC & all it's helpful members!
