Help! Does anyone recognize this chicken breed!?

[MysteryChicken]

oh wow. Didnt know. Thanks

Now you do.

 

[Lollychicken]

Not always.

Wrong.

1. Olive Eggers are a type of Easter egger
2. Easter Eggers are mutts. They are not a breed. There is no standard.

They usually have at least a little fluff or slight feathers that stand out a bit.
Yes, that are a type of Easter Egger, but they are crossed with a dark brown egg layer and a blue egg layer, the dark brown layer ones would cause some to have no fluff??
I didn't know they were a mutt breed, but I have also read they are a standard breed in the past

No. They are a mutt. They don’t have to have anything.

Scary, my EE:

I think what you're thinking of are the typical South American breed-based Easter Eggers. Those often have the muffs/beard and usually have pea combs. Now there has been an influx of Cream Legbar based Easter Eggers. These eggers do not have muffs/beards. These new mixes just make it a bit more complicated

She looks like my welsummer

yeah, that could be it

I think you are right! I looked it up and she is a spitting image

They are bred to have that, if they don't it's not an Easter Egger. Your not thinking of olive egger??

This is not true. Easter eggers aren't a breed, they're basically any mix that contains Ameraucana. So, since they are mixed breeds, they can lay brown eggs, not have beard/muffs, sing comb, any color of legs, and other variations and still be an EE.

I think you read Amaraucana as a standard breed. That would make more sneak. EE's don't have to have any fluff at all. They have no requirements and are just mixes.
