Are these two Easter Eggers or Ameracaunas?

Oh so pretty, the little ear puff muffs indicate the Aracauna gene. but I'm no expert. My hens must be Easter Eggers because they lay blue eggs, but they don't have such big ear puffs, they look like normal chickens.
 
Really nice easter egger pullets. The yellow legs and not matching a recognized variety are why. They probably have a lot of ameraucana in them.

They are not at all Aracanas. Aracanas have crazy giant feathers cheeks that look like mustaches. Like this.

They are very different looks.
These have the same muffs/beards as an ameraucana but missing a lot of key traits/colors. Still, excellent looking birds, really nice, probably from a great source.

They are 24 weeks old, still waiting for that first egg, hope it is more blue than green!
