Chick- purchased Araucana/Americauna, looks more like a Buttercup?

I think it's a Buttercup. It looks just like the Buttercup chicks on Feathersite.

You have an Easter Egger. So green eggs it is!

WORLDS CUTEST CHICK I EVER SAW. omgawsh

 

[roysnider]

We have Sicilian Buttercup Bantam chicks. Some were yellow being the dominate coloring, some were yellow with black being the dominate coloring and some with brown coloring being the dominate color. All had bits of yellow and brown in them. They all had a stripe on the back of either black or brown. The true sign is when they start getting their feathers they should have a golden color on their hackle feathers and the rest of the body feathers being brown/blk with some of them more golden than others. They look nothing like a EE (we have true Wheaten and Blue Wheathen Ameraucana chicks and true BBR Araucana chicks). The BBR Araucana chicks were brown with a darker brown stripe on it's back. Some of the Araucana came out with tuffs or double tuffs and rumpless. The Ameraucana chicks did not have a real visible beard as a tiny chick (have 3 2-wk old chicks right now with no beard.). The cock has finally gotten it beard at about 5 weeks old and the pullet has not gotten hers yet. None of the Ameraucana or Araucana chicks had the black eye rings like your chick does. We at first mistaked one of our Araucana chicks for the Buttercup and soon realized that the black eye ring wasn't there. Time will tell!!

i'm thinking it's an EE, the brown is too dark for a buttercup. cute chick!

The easiest way to tell is to look at the comb. Buttercups have a very distinct comb. Can you get a good closeup picture of the comb?

I'm thinking she's an EE, but if not I'll still love her just the same! Thanks everyone!

Definitely an Easter Egger.

What did your chick grow up to be? Happen to have a picture? I got one out of the "bantams" bin at the feed store that looks like this
