I thought this was an australorp but i may be an ameraucana. PICS

[boykin2010]

This isnt a picture of my chicken but it is one i found on google images that looks exactly like the one i have now. Someone gave me 4 chickens about 5 or 6 months ago and i gave away all but 1. The owner told me that they were all purebred australorps. Well now the one i have now is 8 or 9 months old hen and it has a pea comb and muffs on its face like my easter egger. Can any of you please tell me from the pic i attached if this is a black australorp or an ameraucana.
The thing that really caught my attention was when i got 2 blue/green eggs the other day and i have only 1 easter egger. ( so i thought )
But even weirder than that the new green egg i got was a double yolker the first time it layed an egg! I cant believe i didnt notice it earlier than this but the chicken i have has muffs, a pea comb and blue legs. Arent these typical signs of an easter egger?

Thanks in advance, boykin 2010

Not an australorp (we have them) ... they don't have the tufts around the face. Could be an egger but I've never seen a pure black one before. Anybody else?

That's def not an Australorp....

That picture is a black Ameraucana. If your girl layed a green egg she is probably an EE. What color are her legs? Some of the newer color Ameraucana's lay greenish eggs but a black one should lay a blue egg.

Her legs are blue and she isnt solid black. You would never be able to see it in the picture but on the side of her neck is 3 or 4 orange stripes about an inch long. She just has a little orange on her but she is mostly black. Whatever is laying the mystery egg is laying a GREEN egg. It is actually very dark compared to my blue eggs. I will post a pic of the egg she laid that was a double yolker if i can get to a pic.

the mystery egg is on the left. i have a white polish egg in the middle for comparison. On the right is the normal blue egg i get almost everyday from the white easter egger

anybody else?

I want a blue egg layer so badly!!!

She's an EasterEgger, NOT an Ameraucana from your description.

ok. Can you tell 100% from the picture that she is NOT an australorp and that she does lay a blue/green egg...
