Got new chicks!

[Kirsten819]

I just got some Ameraucana/EE very young pullets from a meet! Now I know there is a difference between the two birds but that's what they had them listed as. Tomorrow I will post picks, I was wondering if anyone can tell the age of them, they are small have wing feathers and starting to get tail feathers? Also I was wondering if anyone can tell the difference between a Ameraucana and an EE cause I would like to know which breed they are? Thanks!

Most hatcheries misname them and they are EE's which are great to have anyway.

EEs are great birds! While purists may boo-boo them as mutts, many backyard keepers find owning these birds very rewarding. Congratulations and welcome to the flock!

In addition, EEs (unlike true Araucanas and Ameraucanas) often have greenish colored legs. There is a good article on the differences between Araucanas, Ameraucanas, and EEs at http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2011/09/ameraucana-easter-egger-or-araucana.html
