EE or Ameracauna??

Your hen is the MOST BEAUTIFUL EASTER EGGER I have ever seen!

ETA: If a chicken lays blue, green or olive eggs, the inside of the shell will always be blue. It's egg color genetics. Blue eggs does not always mean Ameraucana.

Thank you. The hen or the rooster? We enjoy them both.

@SemperFiChicken I was talking about the hen, but they're both pretty. I've just never seen that coloring on an EE hen before.

Your rooster, looks an awful lot like a salmon faverolle rooster! (Or course he doesn't have feathered legs so I know he isn't, but still)

My other reasoning for the hen is that Ameraucanas never come in her color...

Exactly

Wow ! She is an Easter Egger not because of egg shell color or leg color, but because she is not the proper color for any of the Ameraucana varieties. None of that negates the fact that she is a beautiful bird.

What color would you call this pretty little hen? I think there is more controversy over EE's and Americauna's than any other Breed. Do we have a show person or a judge that has some nice pictures of the accepted colors and their "blue Legs"?

Very beautiful EE!

They are both quite pretty and I hope your little hen makes it and gets better soon.

The lady that she was bought from has told me she was a chestnut Ameraucana, obviously she isn’t that breed. I’ll buy more from her next spring if she continues with them. She said she’s bred them for 30+ years.
