Need to know what breed this is...

This bird is 3 weeks old today and I think it's a male. What do you think he is? Ideal Poultry put 7 of these in with the females I ordered, "for warmth during delivery". Thanks for the help!

White leghorn and he does look male.

Is this an EE or an Ameraucana?

Easter Egger. I received these exact chicks from Ideal poultry (of course they were sold as Americaucanas). I recently did a post on the easy ways to determine the differences in a broken-down, as simple as possible version, if you're interested:

From your big hatcheries (and most of the small ones), you will probably always receive Easter Eggers. You can really only get true Ameraucanas and Araucanas from prviate breeders (and they cost more money too). But to me, it doesn't really matter- they're all so beautiful and lay gorgeous eggs! I love my EE!!

Here are some before and after pictures of what I got, just so you know what you have to look forward to! I though that since they all looked the same as chicks, then they would all look the same as they got older. Nope! All so different! How fun that is

Wow! They do look so different from each other. So beautiful though. I don't care if they are considered mutts. They are the prettiest of any kind of mutt I have ever seen. ( :
This makes me very excited to see what mine turn out like. Thanks!

Do you know how I can find out if this berry on my tree is harmful to the chicks?
