Hello, does anyone know what kind of chicken this is? I got her and another one just like it in my flock of what was supposed to be ameraucanas this spring.
 
She's not an ameraucana. Ameraucana have specific colors and traits. If her legs are green, not ameraucana... here's a bunch of pics of proper colors for the breed. I would wager this is an easter egger who's been sold as an ameraucana... or the breeder/former owner bought her mistakenly as an ameraucana and didn't know better themselves. Unfortunately, with the hatcheries and feed stores, it happens all the time.

I had an Easter Egger who looked exactly like that a few years ago! Most hatcheries get Easter Eggers mixed up with Ameraucanas. How much did you pay for her and what hatchery is she from? That'll be a big help as well. :)

I got her at the grange for 2.50 along with the rest of my chicks. Thanks so much! I am a new chicken owner so I had no idea what I was looking at!

Oh thanks! She does not have green feet, I'm guessing you're right that she is an EE.
