Is this an Easter Egger?

[Nobbit]

Hello Everyone! I got 3 new chicks in the mail today.

I know 2 of them b/c I requested them, but I got one "assorted rare" and am having some trouble identifying her. I'm thinking possibly easter egger, but figured I'd ask the experts. Thanks!

So cute!! I am no expert by any means but I had some last year and they all looked like that or similar to it anyway. Definite possibility but I am not sure if they are considered rare/exotic breed.

It looks like a EE to me but I'm also not an expert

Looks like an EE. Because the hatcheries don't necessarily label them correctly and call them Ameraucana or Araucana, they get away with selling them as a rare breed.

By far the most popular choice of hatcheries to use for extra and rare chicks, the EE. Most likely a rooster too.

Thanks, y'all!

Now that I look at her face, I can see the little poofs like the faverolle has. I'm hoping she's not a roo, I asked for female and ordered from MPC, they tend to be pretty good about it (although I know it's not 100% accurate right out of the egg). Yay chickens!

My EEs had the poofy faces too but none of them were roos. EE roos are very pretty though.

Thanks, y'all!
