Pure Ameraucana or Easter Egger

[KsChickenMama]

I am buying Ameraucana hatching eggs from these two chickens. I am wanting to make sure I get pure Ameraucana and not Easter Eggers but I don't know enough about this breed to recognize the difference.

The hen is definitely an Easter Egger. Unless from a very reputable breeder, most chickens labeled Ameraucana, are actually EEs. Easter eggers are wonderful!!! They have sweet temperaments and can lay beautiful blue/green eggs.

So I should find out where the hen came from?

Both are Easter Eggers. Nothing wrong with EEs, unless you specifically want Ameraucanas.

If you are after true Ameraucanas check out the breeders club page It has pictures of each variety and there is a list of breeders as well.

Neither are true ameraucana.
If you want true ameraucana first things first you should get a grasp on what a true ameraucana is.
The link @keesmom is a good source.

I agree. Both are easter eggers

The first one could be splash with leakage, but the hen is ee for sure
