EE or Ameruacana??

[HeathenHavenHomestead]

I bought these hens as Ameraucana but apparently they can be mislabeled and actually EEs?
I’m sorry these photos are terrible they are super flighty.
I guess I can always wait to see what they lay but didn’t know if it’s possible to tell at this age.
The one with the Carmel/black chicken is a Sapphire Gem so it’s neither but the solo black one is one of the others in question

What makes you think so? I’m curious how to tell the difference.

The blue chicken could potentially be an Ameraucana assuming it has white skin, but I would think that's pretty unlikely given the other is definitely an Easter Egger. She also would have a very sparse beard for an Ameraucana

Easter Eggers.

Unless you paid $20 a pop for them, they're most likely easter eggers.

Not necessarily. All my Ameraucanas were $10 each. And I'm getting six more that were ~$8 a piece. It's much better to judge based off of actual characteristic of the breed.
