Allright thanks for the support and feed back, greatly appreciated. Ok, now referring to what i had posted earlier, im not sure if i have easter eggers or ameraucanas. I have read that easter eggers lay different colored eggs. But of the 20 she layed all of them are light blue which would be a trait only ameraucanas and araucanas have. Another of my hens just started laying green eggs this particular hen has the other hen's colors and feather pattern but has no beard. I will try to upload a picture, maybe someone can identify my hens true breed. I have heard easter eggers wont go broody, maybe its an ameraucana. Just thinking that my hens might never go broody makes me worry. Im seriously thinking about incubating some of their eggs and take my chances.

Easter Eggers can lay a pure blue egg, the same as Ameraucanas and Araucanas. They can ALSO lay green or brown or tinted. True Araucanas are nearly extinct and run several hundred dollars for mature birds and easily $50+ for chicks. Ameraucanas generally won't sale for less than $10 as chicks and usually $30-$50 as adults. Ameraucanas and Araucanas will also be sold under a variety name; Black, Blue, Wheaten, etc. Birds sold simply as Ameraucanas or Araucanas are almost always Easter Eggers.

You may consider posting a side profile photo of the entire bird in the "What breed or gender is this?" section of the forum. From what I can see I would guess it is some form of broiler, such as a Cornish Cross. It is a cockerel in any case.
