Do I have Easter Eggers or Ameraucanas?

[NC Chicken Lover]

I hatched this pullet from a blue egg, which I purchased from a breeder found on Ameraucana.org. To make the story short, one of the pullets laid her first egg yesterday, and then another today. To my surprise, her eggs are a beautiful dark green. I thought Ameraucanas laid blue eggs. The first pic is of the hen in question and the second is of her hatchmate. So, do I have Easter Eggers or Ameraucanas? Thanks for any input.

AND FINALLY THE EGG!!

Well she has got correct leg color and a beard and muffs! The standard says nothing of egg color but the egg is awfully olive colored making me think she was crossed making her an EE.

I don't know!! I know that they need to lay a blue egg if they can be shown. She looks like she is an Ameraucana (to my untrained eye), but she could be a cross with a brown egg layer?

I second what encorepistol said.

My ameraucanas came from reputable breeders as well. Their initial eggs looked just like that. They did blue up as they got the hang of laying. I was in panic mode there at first! One of my four still has a green tint to it, but the other three are going blue.
Your girl is pretty!

She is a beautiful little girl!! Now I'm curious to see what the other pullet will lay. Oh well, I tried. The egg, however, is an awesome color!!

Is it my eyes or does that blue hen have feathered legs??? She is BEAUTIFUL!!

It looks like an ameraucana to me, and a nice one.

They don't judge egg color and many show winning birds lay a greenish egg. The ideal is as blue as you can get, but until all birds are perfect in every way, I say it's simply a small fault to be worked on in the line.

Her legs are clean--no feathers there. Thanks.
