I'm new to all things chicken

the last one would more likely be an ameracauna
EE have more gold colored legs where as the ameracauna have a slate or grey leg


It's an EE, and EE usually have green legs/toes and

as Ameracaunas are "Ameraucanas have been bred from different strains of Araucanas since at least 1960 in the United States. The American Poultry Association recognized Ameraucanas as a breed in 1984. For an extraordinarily thorough and fascinating history of Ameraucanas, click here.

Ameraucanas lay blue eggs. Other traits include a pea comb, white skin, full tails, muffs and beards (always together), and slate or black legs; they have no ear tufts. The APA recognizes these colors: Black, Blue, Blue Wheaten, Brown Red, Sliver, Wheaten and White.

While Ameraucanas are more common in the United States than Araucanas, they are available only through reputable breeders, regardless of advertisements by hatcheries and other large-scale, distribution sources. If you are in the market for Ameraucanas and see an advertisement for "Americanas," be forewarned: there is no such breed. There is no "I" in Ameraucana. The misleading spelling is usually intended to imply that that Easter Eggers are Ameraucanas, which wrong on many levels." Quoted from the chicken chick

It is not a single color!
