I agree these look like those cookies and cream mixes the sell at meyer hatchery

They are not cookies and cream hybrids. Those are black mottled, @MAX817’s hens are splash. Cookies and cream hybrids also have feathered legs and extra toes.

So are you saying they are not Easter egger??

Depending on where you live, they are most likely British tailed araucanas.

I just googled British tailed araucanas.

They do look a lot like especially face figures..

Well, then they are probably not British araucanas. I’m guessing they’re first generation ameraucana crosses, which would qualify as Easter eggers.

Okay. Thank you. As long as they are Easter egger hens. I am happy with them. They just didn’t look like regular chickens that I am used.

Hi. I purchased two Easter egger hens couple days ago but they don’t look like other Easter egger that I have seen online.

They are almost a year old. Owner said they don’t lay anymore but did one time.

What are they? Thank you

So I contacted the owner about chickens. She said that she bought them from tractor supply.

In that case they're probably "Americanas". They are a hatchery hybrid bred from Araucanas to Ameraucanas proprietary to Hoovers Hatchery. Hoovers supplies the chicks to most (all?) TSC locations.

They're Steele Eggers. Meyer hatchery breed them. I have one exactly the same looking hen as yours. And mine is a Steele Egger.
You can check out this breed on their website.

Ok. Thank you. When did yours start laying and how often does she lay? What color of eggs??
