Is this really an Araucana?

[Z_chicken]

I bought this hen from my local feed store and was told she's an Araucana, but she looks nothing like my other Araucana and her legs are yellowish at 18 weeks old. What do you think?
Thanks!

She's either a Buff Orpington or a Non-bearded Easter Egger.

she is an orp for sure. that is not a bad thing. great layers

Thanks all! That explains why she got so much bigger than my other chickens. I hadn't planned on getting such a large hen, but if she lays well...

She's beautiful. Did your feed store have Orpington's and put that one in the wrong area? My feed store didn't sell Orp's or I would have gotten one.

*feed store* gives it away, they do not sell true araucana or true ameraucana, only easter eggers. I agree, looks like a buff orp..

She looks like a really pretty Buff Orpington. And you most likely would not have gotten a true Araucana or Ameraucana from a feedstore either. An Easter Egger yes, but not a True Araucana, which would be pretty near impossible to find at feed store. Buff Orpingtons are great egg layers though! And have really nice dispositions, so your bird can be a great asset to your flock, a really happy surprise! Just dont expect her to lay blue eggs
