Hen trouble

Would guess that's a White Leghorn.

You have an Easter Egger cockerel.

Could it be an Amaricauna? That is what it was listed but it was also listed as a female lol

It might be an Ameraucana, but most (if not all) hatchery produced 'Americauna' chicks are in fact EE. Even with sexed chicks a 10 % error is not uncommon.

Agreed - the comb, skin (leg) color and beard suppressing wattle are all key indicators of EE - the saddle feathers are indication of cockerel. The skin color (green legs) is EE not Ameraucana.
The only commercial hatchery I am aware of selling true Ameraucana is Meyer (and MPC through them) - and they sell blues and wheaten only, not white.

Definitely not leghorn as the skin color, comb and beard are not characteristics of a leghorn.

Thank yall so so much. Ha so yall have any tips for the new guys? Oh and we are feeding them Layena is that good. One more thing. We had two full grown chickens as of two days ago. Then we went out in the evening and without any symptoms in the morning one of the full grown chickens was lying down having a hard time breathing. She passed shortly after. I checked the internet for diseases and i found that she coulda had chicken cholera. Our cat ate a rat and then ate catfood. The rat coulda had cholera and then passed it to the catfood. The hen ate cat food that morning so i assume thats what she died from. Should i be concerned?
