Are Americanas Considered Easter Eggers?

[MommyGirl]

I love EEs they are my favorite. Lay great, healthy, friendly and beautiful

I live in southern California and paid $20 per chick for my Americanas/EE. Does this mean I’m not getting blue eggs? For reference I also paid $20 for my lavender, sapphire gems and $15 for buff orps.

No, they should still lay colored eggs. I’ve been doing some more research into them, they’re a hybrid so they won’t breed true. I believe the most common cross is Ameruacanas and cream leg bars.

I have 20 Americanas/Easter eggers and 12 lay blue/green eggs. 5 lay olive green, 1 brown and 2 cream eggs

Wherever you got them from overcharged you by a lot (20 - 30 is what i'd expect a point of lay pullet to cost) but you might still get blue eggs. You won't know until they start laying

Edit: 20 bucks a chick is reasonable for a true ameraucana, but not an easter egger or any of the other breeds you got. If chicks are running that price locally I'd try a hatchery next time as it'd work out a bit cheaper even after shipping
