Is this a Easter Eggers???

[Barbours]

This is a baby we rescued. The man we got it from has 2 Easter Eggers mixed with a tun of other chickens . Just wondering if this little one is the baby of one of those gals. Thanks so much for y'alls help and have a great rest of y'alls day.

It looks like it could be an EE cockerel. Easter Egger is not really a breed, but a standard of perfection and they are bred to lay colored eggs so there is a lot of variability in their appearance.

Easter Egg is a way of the hatchery saying “we don’t know what this is, but we have to sell it.” By the prominent cheek muffs, I would say that you have an Americana, which is a mixed breed with Auracauna somewhere in it’s lineage, although it could be a few generations back.

Yes that appears to be an Easter egger!
Since Easter eggers are a mixed breed chicken they can all have a slightly different appearance. Yours looks to be a typical EE with muffs and a beard! Depending on the age I would say you have a very handsome Cockerel.

Id say a mixed breed which is what a Easter Egger is.

I should say a chicken that is mixed with americuana or ararcuana in tis history.

An Easter Egger is a mixed breed chicken, originally mixed with the blue shell laying, muffed, peacombed Ameraucana, which has a very strict breed standard of complicance, or standard of perfection. There is no SOP for Easter Eggers. Since Ameraucana are more expensive, hatcheries mixed them with pretty much any breed to produce the hybrid known as Easter Egger which come in all shapes and colors....for the pretty egg possibilities as it only takes 1 gene for the blue shell mixed with brown laying genes and you get green...so lots of color possibilities like Easter eggs.

What you have shows a pea comb and muffs which indicate somewhere back in its history there was Ameraucana blood. It is a mix of a mix, and often referred to as Easter Egger (there is no such thing as Americana other than a label some hatcheries give their hybrid Easter Eggers).

I'm working on a small Chromebook, so I can't get your photos large enough to tell if it is a cockeral or hen but the comb is pretty big for a pea comb which may indicate rooster.
