I was told this was a black easter egger but not really convinced. What do you think? About 11 weeks old now
These are "her sisters" from the same hatching
Thats what I was thinking looks different from my other black sex link but would mean I have another hen for my flock. Here's a pic of my black sex link "minnie"That looks like a black sex link

Just a correction for future... An Ameraucana rooster is pure for the blue egg gene, which means he carries two blue egg genes. 100% of his daughters will receive a blue egg gene from him. Since blue shell is dominant over white shell, a hen only needs one copy to lay a blue shelled egg. If breed with a white layer, 100% will lay a blue egg. If breed with a brown layer, the majority will lay green but there's also a chance for just blue.
That means the hen that laid the blue egg had one blue egg gene and one white egg gene. She passed the white egg gene to your hen. Most likely the father carried the genes for brown eggs.What about the other way? I had a hen that was hatched out of a blue egg, the father was unknown. She looked 100% like an Easter Egger but laid a brown egg. I know that she hatched out of a blue egg so I was very surprised that she laid brown eggs.
