Breed please.. 2 hens

Americana is what tractor supply said but i thought that needed fluffy cheeks to be .. maybe they are right.

I got mine from a breeder. She does not have fluffy cheeks this young and most hatchery chicks won't get them, sometimes hatcheries mistake americauna's for easter eggers but most easter eggers get the fluffy face.

Ameraucana have muffs from hatch. If yours doesn't have them now, they won't get them.
Hatcheries label their easter eggers as 'AmerIcana' all the time, note the spelling. You have to look close at the description. All Ameraucana, from a breeder or otherwise, will always list what the color type of that breed is; i.e. wheaton, blue, black, buff etc. Anybody who sells them, without a standard color, and it doesn't follow breed standard; i.e. slate legs, muffs and beard, pea comb, standard color... They're selling EE.

Nope - I have an easter egger with perfectly normal cheeks. She is my most reliable layer. Enjoy!

That is an old picture of her. She was about 7 weeks. I have her now and she does have the fluff around her neck.

she has always had it but it started really coming in a couple weeks ago, bout a week or two after the photo, she was listed as brown-red americauna, She said something about the americauna have dark blue legs, I did get easter eggers from her to, which are white with black spots, barely any fluf, they have greenish-white legs which I don't no is part of easter eggers or not.

note the spelling. Americana, with the I in the middle is an Easter Egger.

Also take note I said at "this young" I meant not at her age in the photo.

She looks similar to a brown-red... but not really dark enough. See the pic, which is from the Ameraucana Breeders Club. She may be a cull. What color eggs does she lay (if she lays yet)

Her mom and dad layed blue, I find most of her orange faded and now she is a dark brown-black, the orange is a light yellowish-brown now and it is only on her neck, I kind of got disappointed by that since she looked really pretty, I can get photos when i'm home.

That is an Easter egger. Her coloring is typical of an EE, and doesn't exist in ameraucanas. Also, her legs are green, not slate.
