Americauna or EE?

[Elana DeBolt]

I know that Americauna's don't always meet the breed color standers so I'm not sure which she is, she lays blue eggs
Americauna or EE? Thoughts?

Easter egger

How do you tell the difference? I see Americauna's for sale that look just like Easter eggers for sale

Well, I'm not exactly sure. But those puffy cheeks.....

Where did you get her? If bought from a reliable americauna breeder, then yes, maybe If bought from a supply store like tsc, most likely and ee.

If I said "Easter Egger", would you love her any less? I have one, and she's been a wonderful friend for 3 years. Just beautiful!

EE and Americauna are the same thing. Ameraucana(see the difference in spelling.) is the pure breed. EE are normally a mix breed chicken that should carry the blue egg gene, they often are bred from Ameraucana but not always. Ameraucana have strict breed requirements, but I don't know them. Your bird is an EE.

Google EE's vs Ameraucanas they will tell you its the tail, tuffs, Blue egg gene, etc.

True, you can't sell an EE as an ameraucana, But they cheat and call them an "Americana"
