Auracana cross -- what's the cross?

[zoomia]

Hey all you chicken experts, I just got this 4 month old girl (I hope it's a girl!) at auction today. I thought she was really pretty, especially for $5 and the possibility of blue eggs. She was marked as an auracana cross.

I don't know much about auracanas/americaunas/easter eggers, except that a lot of people confuse the three. I think I have the basics down. And if she's marked as an auracana, that means she's PROBABLY an americauna instead, and if she's a cross on top of that, does that mean that technically speaking she's an easter egger? ARGH!

In any case, I would love your opinion on what she is. Your guess is much more educated than mine!

Sorry I can't help with even a guess at what she may be...but... I agree, that's one very nice looking bird! Congrats!

He looks like an EE.

(Notice the pointed saddle feathers?

)

'Fraid so.

Argh.

They pulled it out of the box, said pullet, and I bit.

So when my rooster tried to mate with him, that was a dominance thing?

I think that EE is a pullet. Keep us updated.

Maxx, I love you. Not that I don't love the rest of you guys, but hope is a wonderful thing. Especially since I just got rid of the last of my SIX EXTRA roosters (out of nine chicks)

Sorry to break it to you! lol!

When the cockerel starts getting more testosterone flowing in his body, he'll start challenging your other male.

Yup, i agree he's a he, and EE.. The pure size, plumage, and feathers are a good reason why i think so.. Plus in the second picture, you can see spur's coming in.. I know they all have that. BUT he's starting to grow some..
