Opinion needed... Ameraucana or EE. Legs are slate bluish with slight green tinge underneath. Wondering if she is Americana. with Blue Cochin mix??? She is about 16-18 weeks old in this picture. Thanks!

Personally I think she's an EE. I see reddish tint over her blue.

Quote: She does have red over her blue, know that the grower has blue Cochins and ameraucanas. Guess that = EE. Thanx

Whatever she is she's gorgeous! Congrats on raising such a healthy looking pullet!

Pretty hen! If the legs have a green cast the pads of the feet are probably yellow which would indicate yellow skin, not white and thus a cross. She's got alot of purebred Ameraucana traits though so so you have a pretty good chance of blue eggs in a few weeks.

This is a pretty good description of the differences between Araucana, Ameraucana and Easter Egger:

The spelling of Ameraucana is important to pay attention to...or maybe it's just one of my pet peeves

"If you are in the market for Ameraucanas and see an advertisement for "Americanas," be forewarned: there is no such breed. There is no "I" in Ameraucana."

I did spell it correctly a few times. Sorry I missed the typo

However, it is good to point it out.
