This is Chuck Norris our "supposed" Roo



This is Hennifer Lopez our "supposed" Hen

Need some opinions on these two chickens. Eggs or No Eggs?

Hello :frow and Welcome To BYC! X2, both look like girls.
 
Welcome to BYC! Glad you decided to join our flock. Both of your EEs look like pullets. Please feel free to ask if you have any other questions. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck with your EEs.
 
Thanks everyone! I was thinking both pullets too! Not sure they are EE or not. They were sold to us as Auracana from the feed store but I know that they are most likely some kind of mix. I have one other and her cheeks are fluffy and she has that "partridge" coloring. (See avatar that's my Fancy). What breed were you thinking?

Easter Eggers are frequently marketed by hatcheries as either Araucanas or Ameraucanas (often misspelled as Americana or Americauna), but they are actually hybrid crosses between either Araucanas or Ameraucanas (both of which lay only blue eggs) and other breeds to produce offspring that lay eggs in colors other than just blue (olive, green beige, or even pale pink or gold). There is a good article explaining the difference between Araucanas, Ameraucanas, and Easter Eggers at http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2011/09/ameraucana-easter-egger-or-araucana.html.
