EE or Ameraucana?

[jessleeh]

I can't post pics yet, but my "Ameraucana" (as advertised by the feed store) is mostly brown and gold. She's beautiful, but I read something that seemed to say Ameraucanas were not brown...? Any ideas? In case anyone wants to look, I can post pics on my page, just not on the forum yet. I have a pic up of 2 birds, and she's the more colorful one.

Ha! I can post pictures now!!

Is the one on the right an EE or an Ameraucana? And please don't tell me that those pointy neck feathers look like a roo's....

Pretty EE's.

easter egger. both are hens

EE hens. THere are multiple features that distinguish an Ameraucana from an EE, but to keep it easy, just keep in mind that no feedstore sells Ameraucanas. They are a purebred bird that only comes from breeders who spend a lot of money maintaining their lines.

the one on the left looks like a welsumer or brown leghorn, not an ee. But both of them do look like pullets!

nevermind...I read ahead again...You were only asking about the easter egger

EE pullet.

... Just kidding.. about the frown. We're (most of us) always happy to get the girls!

Thanks everyone. I guess it doesn't make much difference since she probably has the blue or green egg gene and that's what I really wanted... especially appreciate Pele's advice. Good to know. The other bird is a Welsummer, by the way.

Yeah, great odds she'll lay you pretty eggs.
