Is this a Full Lavender Ameraucana? Also Aggression?

[mrl8810]

I'm still new-ish to chickens..I have one chicken that's still laying almost everyday..which is a buff Orpington..but I have a Lavender Ameraucana in the same coop and she's old enough to lay..she's about six months old or older..her comb is red..but I thought Lavender Ameraucana eggs were supposed to be blue? That has me wondering if this is a full Lavender Ameraucana as I was told?

I have other chickens in the coop but the next oldest besides the Buff/Ameraucana are at MOST 5 months and maybe not even that old and their combs aren't red at all. So I would think it has to be the Ameraucana?

Also I've noticed since finding two "new" eggs..that the Ameraucana is becoming more bossy with the other chickens...does the temperament of a chicken change when they start laying? Thanks for any help..I posted pictures of the Ameraucana..sorry that they aren't that great but she moves a lot..and i posted a picture of the normal buff egg(the brown one)..and the "new" egg...any help would be appreciated.

Could be a lavender Easter Egger. They come in every color, & each bird lays a different colored eggs ranging from: Blue, Aqua, Sea Foam Green, Minty Green, Olive, Dark Brown, Cream, Tinted, & Plum.
I have a Cuckoo EE that lays huge pink eggs with white speckles.

EE egg on left, Orpington cross egg on right.

No she is not an ameraucana.
Single comb is the quickest give away. Ameraucana have pea combs.

Any idea what she may be..or may be mixed with?

No idea. There really isn't any way of knowing for sure.
The single comb is just an obvious sign she's not an ameraucana. Also with the single comb it rules out being a first generation ameraucana cross.

other words she is full on Easter Egger

Maybe Orpington cross

EE's are Ameruacana mixed with any other breed. Easter Eggers are mutts of every color, literally.
Aggressive behavior is normal for the leader of the flock. If she's giving them a thunk on the head with her beak, is just the way she says, "I'm Boss Lady, You Listen To Me." Feather yanking, & a kick is another way they say, I'm Big Boss Lady.

I'd contest that. EE are any bird that was bred to carry the blue gene, weather they end up laying blue, green, olive, or white and brown. They can get that blue gene from Ameraucana, or Araucana, or Cream Legbars. That's why EE can have any type comb, muff or tufts or not, any leg color... they are mutts, but their heritage doesn't need to be Ameraucana.

Well, most of them descended from the Ameraucana.
