Breed?!? EE or Ameracana?

[animal-lover99]

She is 6/7 weeks old and I was told she was an Ameracana but I'm not sure i can trust them as the other "Pullet Ameracana" I got was a male EE but they look totally different and have different leg colors! So I'm thinking its a different breed from the other one that I got. Here are some pics of her please give me your best guess thanks!

The difference between a 'true' ameraucana and an easter egger is about ten dollars here in Canada. She is lovely, but for 'true' Ameraucanas her legs ought to be darker.
Right?
or wrong?

Well there is more than one difference between them but one is ameraucanas have slate legs and EEs have green or yellow legs. Ameraucanas lay blue eggs, EEs lay blue, green , or pink eggs. There are 8 colors aceppted as ameraucanas (blue,black,white,buff,brown red, wheaten, and blue wheaten). Ameraucanas have beard and EEs are supposed to but they dont always (Ihave one that is beardless). Ameraucanas have pea combs and so are EEs, but they dont always (I have one with a single comb.

So you are right and wrong. Her legs being a slate color would make her one step closer to being a true ameraucana, but other things such as feather color would also have to be different for her to be a true ameraucana.

She's an EE. For a really good info source on telling them apart, visit www.ameraucana.org. They have a comprehensive breakdown of the differences, and pictures of the allowable colors of the breed.
