Does this look like an americauna chick?

[FountainFamFarm]

I'm a newbie and bought this chick that's supposed to be an americauna. Are there all yellow americauna chicks? There were several different colors but only 2 or 3 all yellow chicks

It looks like it could be, I had a white Americauna for a time, she still laid the green eggs like any normal colored one

Where did you get it? There is a high chance of if being an Easter Egger.

I got it at our local feed store.

Ameraucanas are a recognized breed that are usually expensive and uncommon, while Easter Eggers are mixes sold as Ameraucanas by most feed stores and hatcheries.

Thank you for the info. They were only $2 but labeled americauna. So she maybe an Easter egger.

It will be REALLY hard to tell until they start laying. True Ameraucanas lay blue eggs while other EEs are any hens that lay eggs in colors like green, olive, and light blue. I've also seen rather tan pictures Ameraucanas before, though.

EE's are very popular and there is no shame in having one

I have EEs that lay true blue eggs. There are specific feather and shank colors with the Ameraucana that fit a specific standard.
