Is this an Ameraucana?

[lizm1221]

We got this chick about a week ago during a trip to the feed store for some feed

The lady at the store said it was an Ameraucana but she seemed unsure. She said she was about 2 months old. There were at least a dozen others of the same coloring and size so I am assuming they were all from the same breeder/hatchery. So what do you think? I so want some blue eggs! After looking online I was thinking maybe Blue Wheaten, but I have not really seen any pictures that looks just like her which got me wondering. She is super super sweet, we just love her!


she has slate colored legs, and you can see the greyish beard starting to puff out already (i love it!)








her "underside" is grey/blue, but her chest is the mixed color

I don't know what she is, but beautiful!

Chances are, you should get blue eggs from her, still, even though she's an EE. She's beautiful!

Pretty Easter Egger, not Ameraucana.

I thought that Easter Eggers and Americanas (or is it Ameraucana?) were the same breed.

i'm not positive, but I think Ameraucana is a recognized breed but EE are a mix of Ameraucana and something else but still have the blue egg gene??

That makes sense.

Okay, hate to throw this out there but I thought you might want to know. I can't really see her comb that well but, in the last picture she looks kind of boyish. I say this because of how the color is kind of spotty, don't get me wrong it is beautiful just not sure of the sex. Does the comb have 3 rows or one. If it is a boy you probably can see three rows and if you can see three rows is is definitely a boy.

Oh yea, your baby is an EE. Blue egg gene all the way.
