Araucanas and ameraucanas ?! Wishful thinking?

[Amydls]

The little guys with lighter faces photos 1-4 were sold as “ameraucanas”... I’m no chicken expert and have only owned silkies so this year we picked up a few different breeds to add birds that would lay colored eggs.
Could believe it when I saw “araucanas” advertised and took 3 chicks without hesitation a few days later.. the last photos of chicks with darker faces are supposedly “araucanas”. I called the store back a day later and queried if they were araucanas or someone had made a spelling mistake ... they assured me that they were. Any guesses ?

Easter Eggers is my guess.
I see some green legs.

Your “Ameraucana” are actually EE. The darker faced once’s suspiciously look like EE too. Sorry they falsely advertised to you.

X2 on both counts

Thanks guys - that was my suspicion- obviously why I called the store back and said.... are you sure !??? After doing a little more research on them. They’ll be loved either way and now we will just see what array of eggs they start to lay ! Anybody think this chick could be a Roo or too early to tell ? Very different coloring to the two sibling chicks... far more copper and red

My teacher keeps and shows Araucanas/Ameraucanas... so off topic

All of them are easter eggers

Thanks - any guesses what breeds they could be a mix of ? Slightly disappointing that my suspicions have been confirmed but totally unsurprised too. Wouldn’t have bought 6 EE chicks though to add to the flock... maybe 3 at most! I’ll be happy of the eggs they lay when my silkies are too busy being pretty to lay.

Well there are usually about three different three varieties of Amerecaunas they look like this....

Easter Eggers, at least you’ll have variety of shade of green to blue eggs isn’t in US Auracanas standards are usually rumpless/tailed and have ear tufted? And the Ameracaunas are bearded and tailed? Any thing in between are EEs
