Easter Egger or Ameraucana?

[FuzzyButtz]

He was sold to me as an Ameracana but i'm not really familiar with either breeds... sorry for the crap photo. He's about 5 months old.

Looks like an EE to me (EE's are mixes that lay green eggs rather than an actual breed).

How do I determine the difference?

Ameraucana have big old muffs on their faces. I don't see a muff on your boy, so while he's got the coloring, he's a mix (EE).

He's definitely an Easter Egger rooster. There's a good article at http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2011/09/ameraucana-easter-egger-or-araucana.html on the differences.

He is quite beautiful. He looks like he could maybe be an Americana and black copper Maran mix. A lot of people that I know call them olive eggers.
