Easter Egger club!

Unless you had two purebred Ameraucanas (is that what you meant? You do want to be specufic when talking about the breeds, since there are Araucana and Ameraucanas, both lay blue eggs but are different breeds) there is no way it is anything but a cross-breed, or Easter Egger. EE's are the catch-all term for (mostly) blue or green egg laying birds that (usually) have muffs and beard. Since blue egg is a dominant gene, it's very easy to make crosses that still resemble an EE.

Don't get me wrong, EE's are great birds and I have two myself, but it's kinda like, oh, going to Wal-Mart or Target and expecting to find runway-style fashion. Auracaunas and Ameraucanas are both bred to a Standard Of Perfection (SOP) which typically isn't bred for in places that mass-produce chicks. Places like that are typically more concerned with churning out numbers rather that specific qualities.

I ordered these as Ameraucanas but I'm sure they are Easter eggers... They are the sweetest of my flock of 9.. Love the cream/white one can't wait to see what she will look like as a big girl :)
