She is one of my favorite hens. She lays olive colored eggs. I believe her dad is a silkie/bantam mix and her mom is an ameraucana.

I've never seen the toe like that though.
She probably is not a true ameraucana. What's the difference between an ameraucana and an easter egger? I have a lot of barnyard mixes and I enjoy hatching and selling my own mixed up chicks. I like seeing all of the different mixes. I have some Jersey giant and americauna/easter egger mixes as well. I mix my adult cornish rocks that I saved with my buff orpington and get some interesting big chickens. I just like mixing and seeing what comes out of it.What a pretty girl. I'd assume you're right; she really does look part Silkie and Ameraucana, or even Easter Egger if you don't have a true Ameraucana.![]()
Oh, I'm sure! I think I have a (gorgeous) Blue Laced Red Wyandotte cock, and a Turken Naked Neck boy as well, so I would totally want to breed them with my hens for fun, too, when they're older and mature...just to see what the chicks/adult offspring would look like.She probably is not a true ameraucana.

There's varying opinions on this, but I and others will say they were bred/developed primarily from Ameraucanas and Araucanas, two purebreeds that lay blue eggs (lots of places/online hatcheries will mislabel an EE--which is FAR more common than Ameraucanas and Araucanas--as Ameraucanas, misleading the customer. So you won't be buying an Ameraucana at all, but an EE, which lots of places sell. True Ameraucanas are not found at many places, and the best ones probably come from private breeders specializing in them). I'm sure there are other birds in their old lineage, too,though. And they tend to/usually have muffs and/or a beard, but that most certainly isn't always the case. And they have pea combs, and tend to have green legs (I believe all but perhaps the black Ameraucanas have slate colored legs), but again, that's not always the case.They don't have a specific color (like Ameraucanas do), so that's one beautiful thing about them...both their image and egg shell color vary greatly. Egg shell color is normally blue/green, but can be a light brown and even rose/pinkish color, too.
