opinion: Araucana or EE?

[chicky78]

I have 3 chicks that were sold to me as Araucanas...but I don't know if they actually are or if they are EE? They are beautiful and I love them either way, just wondering?
They are a little older now, but here they are at about 3-4 weeks

The two on the left and the one hiding in the very back

Where did you buy them? Unless you bought them from a breeder who breeds specifically Araucanas, or Ameraucanas, they are EE's. From the feed store? EE's. They label them as Araucanas or Ameraucanas, but they are not. Cute little guys, though.

I bought them from a backyard breeder who hatched them from eggs she got from a breeder I believe? But I love them, they're 5 1/2 weeks now and beautiful!
