McMurray Chicks, all EE?

After reading through a bunch of posts here, it seems that it is extremely likely that the MM Hatchery order of Ameracaunas and Bielefelders that I received this year are likely to be a Easter Eggers.

The 1st - 3 photos highlight the Bielefelders, the others are what were sold as “Ameracauna”, let me know what you think…

I think the first 3 pictures show hatchery quality Bielefelders, and the last three photos show regular Easter eggers. They are not purebred Ameraucanas.

Thanks for taking a look @JedJackson !

I’m glad to hear that they should be Bielefelders, they are considerably bigger than the other chicks of the same age, so I thought they might be.

Maybe I need to look more into what a pure Ameraucana’s physical traits look like

I too received Bielefelders from MM, and can confirm, they look exactly the same as yours.

Pure Ameraucanas will always be designated by color variety. They come in black, blue, white, buff, wheaten, lavender, silver and brown red. None of those colors fits the Easter eggers you have, but they are just as good and will lay just as well.
