EE or Americauna or what?

Got her a few days old and was told she is a she and she is a EE, but she is smaller and different looking that other EE I got from another person

EE...very pretty baby!!!

I have an EE that is very close to the color pattern of your bird in the pic. Mine has the really small comb/wattles, the wheat colored hackle feathers and blue/gray tail feathers, the greenish/gray legs. Does your hen have the "muffs" near her earlobes? I can't tell from the angle. I would say she IS an EE, but I am certainly no authority!! Maybe our learned members are able to discern the breed/type.

yeah, many EEs look different cuz there is no stardard

My 4 week old EE will probably grow up to look like your bird. It was a 'chipmunk' when my husband brought it home from the feedstore; was a day old from hatchery.

The thing that I have found, is that if you are asking if it is an Americauna, it's not.

Thanks everyone BUT if she is a EE... and yes she has chipmunk cheeks.....
Why is this one so different looking.. ?
Is this a Americauna??

 

[klf73]

no she is not an ameraucana. They look different because it depends on which hatchery she came from. Many outcross to higher production breeds to increase egg laying.

An EE is a cross between two different breeds, one of which carries the blue egg gene. All of my EEs look different, some of them slightly different, some of them very different.

These two are both EEs. They're 7 weeks old also.

And my avatar is another EE hen of mine. Different still.
