difference EE and...

[summerb76]

What is is difference between an easter egg chicken and Aracana/Americanas. I have the "rainbow layers" mix from McMurrarys Hatchery and it says we can get Aracanas. What can I look for? Are greenish legs easter eggers? Sorry so many questions, I'm a newbie.

From a hatchery, they will most likely be EE's. They are colored egg layers, but dont meet standards for ameraucana or araucana, but still have the genes to give you colored eggs.

Here is a good explanation.

You can click on each breed (or in the case of Easter Eggers the "variety" rather than breed) to see what the main differences are.
