Breed Help!

[CoopMama1517]

Hi everyone! I ordered chicks from Murray McMurray and got them in May and this one ended up being a rooster. He's got a pea comb, no wattles, and a beard. Any help on what breed? I ordered two ameraucanas but I didn't think they could have yellow legs so I'm a bit stumped.

He is probably an easter egger

If you ordered just 'Ameraucanas' from McMurray and not specifically 'Blue Ameraucanas', then you got Easter-eggers. Unfortunately, despite actually carrying true Ameraucanas now, McMurray still insists on labeling their Easter-eggers as Ameraucanas as well, just in case there wasn't enough confusion surrounding the breed. EEs are a mixed bag of genetics and pretty much can have any combination of traits, so yellow legs are not outside the realm of possibility there.

I think their blue Ameracauna are just blue ees, actually.

They certainly look the part of true Ameraucanas, as much as any other hatchery's true Ameraucanas do, but with hatcheries, who knows?
