True Ameraucanas are super hard to find, and their beards and muffs are much fluffier than that of EEs. Are Emma's legs green? Ameraucana's legs are usually slate or black. Another question that might confirm what she is would be: where did you get her? Farm stores and most hatcheries mislabel EEs as being true Ameraucanas, even when they aren't. I happen to have both breeds, and there are several differences. For reference, here are a couple of my birds.


Eve is an EE.

Boo is a 10 week old black Ameraucana; we also have a blue Ameraucana, but she isn't as
cute due to a mild case of crossbeak.

Wow! That's a great laying streak! I hope my girls provide me with eggs that long!
 
her legs are a sort of grey color, definitively not as green as my EE pullets. would you consider her beard and muff fuller? i dunno...
i do not know where she came from as my neighbor hatched her for a project and i don't know where she got the hatching egg. thanks! :)

Well, I don't know for sure, but to me she looks an awful lot like an EE (which is not a bad thing, since she's absolutely beautiful!). I recall that you said earlier that she laid green eggs? Ameraucanas are supposed to lay blue.

Thank you so much for the congratulations!

You're so kind to do so. I had no idea that I would be honored like that, but it's certainly a pleasant surprise.
