Are these Americaunas?

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!

I have 2 Easter Eggers. One lays a pretty turquoise color and the other lays pink. I hope you get some pretty eggs out of them!

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

I don't see greenish or slate colored legs which Easter eggers have. These legs look yellowish to me.

I agree. I'm seeing clean faces, what looks like straight combs and yellow skin. I doubt they're even Easter eggers. Lots of chicks come in this chipmunk pattern. Once they feather out, around 6 weeks, we'll be able to tell breed a lot better.

They look exactly like the "Ameraucanas" on sale at our local feed store. I wanted to slap a "NOT" sign on that bin!

Well, that's a debbie downer

They are still super cute and I guess I'll have to wait and see! I tried getting a pic of the feet before I had to run out this morning

Hi @Opendoorfarm

They are really wanting to fly now, so it was tricky catching one but here is one of the four. I noticed they are all getting a greenish color to their legs now. one is still more yellow than the others.
