Thats an Easter Egger hen.

 

[kittyo74]

thanks was told she is an ameracaunna but i believe they r classed as EE

 

[K Spot]

Ameraucanas are purebred birds, bred to a Standard of Perfection.

Easter Eggers (or EE's) are a crossbred chicken bred for their coloured eggs; be it blue, green, pink etc.

ok thank you for correcting me i am new to all this Maggie was hatch as an egg that came from a hatchery labeled as an ameracauna. so was the hatchery wrong? i am just asking so that i know thank you

 

[K Spot]

Hatcheries don't sell purbred Ameraucanas. You can really only get them from reputable breeders.

The way hatcheries get away with it, is calling them Americanas (notice the different spelling).
