Can a Female Ameraucana be This Color?

Her legs are slate.

Now that I look at her legs again, they are slate, but with a slight greenish tinge.

My feed store sells Easter Eggers. They label their sales cages with Americans or Americanas. They don't have a clue what they sell in my neck of the woods.

I agree that most people at the chain feed stores don't know much or the difference between Americana and Ameraucana. I specifically asked a manager, and she didn't know the difference. I bought one of each knowing the difference, but it seems like Orchalen's has false advertising in their signage. I love her anyway and just hope she's not a cockrel, which I can't have in the city. Some of my hens that are already laying have some suspicious bullseyes in the yolk, so I'm not sure yet if I somehow have a roo.

Okay, thanks! Any idea if it's a pullet or cockrel? It is 18 1/2 weeks now, so since EE, I guess I should ask hen or roo?

Pullet.

I'm so happy about that! She is beautiful in my eyes and such a sweetie! Now to wait for the surprise of her egg color!
