Anyone heard of an all grey EE?

[Kyatesw]

I got 4 chicks from Meyer that are about 3 weeks. Funny thing is, I only ordered three. So we are trying to figure out what the fourth one is. We ordered a salmon favorelle, a green queen EE, and a blue ameracauna (who was banded). Originally we assumed the fourth one was an EE of some sort, but she looks just like the blue ameraucauna and wasn't banned. What do you think? I've never heard of it being common for an EE to be solid blue grey like that. The pics make her look a bit lighter than she is.

Can you post clear pictures of the other three chicks too?

we have an all grey Green Queen EE. Could it be that one?

Skin color is one way to tell between an EE and an Ameraucana. To determine that, you look at the underside of the feet. If that area is pinkish or white, then maybe an Ameraucana. If the skin in that area has a yellowish tinge, then Easter egger.

Here are the two side by side. It's funny, they even sound the same

I think you may very well have two Ameraucana.
Hard to tell leg color in the photo.

Looks like my blue ameraucana, we have 2 also and they are both completely different shades of blue, one is lighter than the other. But they’re both considered blue ameraucana!

I have a Blue Sex-Link Easter Egger pullet from Meyer's, so it's totally possible for them to be solid. She is a bantam though. She's in the front left.

A few of their blue/green/olive layers come in blue so it could really be any of them. Since the Ameraucana are four times the price of the others I would assume they wouldn't throw that in as a freebie and it's one of the "eggers". once it matures you can compare it to the Ameraucana SOP and then of course wait for an egg
