Chicken Breed

These two were given to me in July and I was told they are Ameraucanas. Didn't know whether there was anything you can tell by pictures whether they are or not. Thank you!

Sure look like Ameraucanas to me. Nice birds, good natured, mine are just a little skittish. Those are pretty ones.

Easter Eggers. Hatcheries often label them as Ameraucanas or "Americanas".

More likely EE by their coloring.

Agree, Easter eggers.

I agree, I believe you have two very pretty Easter Eggers

Well I was just having a gut feeling they were Easter Eggers. These weren't from a hatchery. Just someone raising their own chickens. The one on the left just laid her first egg yesterday and it was a little blue one and the other one has started laying too and hers are blue. I'm ok with this as I was really just wanting blue egg layers and surprisingly my "olive" eggers are laying ones that are light blue to light green so I guess there was no panic about having blue egg layers. Oh well!! These girls have finally settled in with the other girls although I know they are definitely low in the pecking order. They are letting me handle them more now. Great to see them warming up! Thanks for you input and compliments!

They are Easter Eggers probably sold as Americanas.

Easter Eggers are really cool.
Some of the sweetest chickens I've ever had have been Easter Eggers, and such pretty eggs!!
