Hi, I’ve been doing some research on my chickens and the feed store labeled these two as Americaunas but I’m wondering if maybe they are Easter Eggers? They are 6 weeks old and I hope they’re both pullets, my daughter has made them big pets that eat out of her hand. Let me know what you think

They are both. Americauna is basically a sales pitch of the Easter Egger. The name Americauna often will fool people who aren't very familiar with the differences making them think that they are Ameruacanas. Whereas just Easter Egger doesn't sound so inviting. You can call them either or, but around here, everybody calls them EE (Easter Egger).
They're still great birds and can lay eggs pink, blue, and/or green. (Though each bird will only lay ONE color eggs, not several.)
