Are these Americaunas?

[nowlifehappens]

I picked up these chicks today. I was told they were Americaunas. Also, can theses be sexed or do I have to wait until they are older?

They do not look like Ameraucana's at all. Some ameraucana's won't have muffs and a beard, but these don't have any thing on their faces. And they all look the same ameraucana's come in a variety of colors and have beards at least.
They do kinda have the face of an Ameraucana but just don't look like one.

Did you pick them up from a feed store? They look like Easter Eggers to me.

Are they blue eggs layers as well? im going to have to look them ip now. sSo these could be EE or Araucanas

If they came from the feed store, they are Easter Eggers, not true Ameraucanas. The only place you can get true AM's are from breeders or occasionally a hatchery like My Pet Chicken.

Most of the time they lay blue, green, or pink (variation of brown) but occasionally you will get a brown layer. I have 4 EE's and they all give me a different shade of various greens and blues. Good luck!

Thank you for that explanation

Most true Ameraucanas will not be chipmunk striped. Only silvers are, and they are pretty rare and no hatchery has them. Araucanas are probably even more rate.

Most feed stores have Easter Eggers, which are mixed and might carry a blue egg laying gene. Only a couple hatcheries have Ameraucanas,
