How do I know my chickens are Ameraucona or EE

I have an ameruacana (Don't know how to spell it) and she is orange with a greyish orange beard. She hasn't laid any eggs yet but I think that the beard and muffs might be one of the biggest give aways to knowing if your chicken is an ameruacana. Here is a picture of her:
She is about 3-4 months old in this picture.

Hope this helps!!

@DarkOcean0207 and @Ellanora, Your birds are Easter Eggers. Ameraucanas are a standardized breed, meaning they come in a certain set of colors, (Black, Blue, Blue Wheaten, Brown Red, Silver, Wheaten and White), have black/slate legs and lay blue eggs. If they do not come in one of those colors than they are an EE's. Also if you got them from a hatchery/feed store than there is a 99% chance they are EE's.
Easter Eggers are a generic breed that has muffs and a beard (but not always), can lay blue, green, olive, white or brown eggs, and can come in any color, shape or size. Hope this helps!
