Are they real ameraucanas?

[my21chickens]

No those are not pure ameraucanas. Those do not have a specific color and some look to have green legs. Plus they have modified pea combs and I don’t doubt different colored eggs.

Those are Easter eggers.

ok they all lay blue eggs though do you think any of them are real ones?

No they’re still all EEs.

I would not rule out an independent farm store having actual Ameraucanas under special conditions, but chicks from TSC are almost certainly Easter Eggers.

The good news being that they'll lay more eggs and larger eggs than if they were actual Ameraucanas.

Oh now i'm glad they are easter eggers! haha

No they’re still all EEs.

OK!

If they are from TSC they are easter eggers. Point blank period

No. Ameraucanas have specific varieties of colors- none of which your’s are in. And also yours are also some of the most common feather patterns in EEs.
