Question about this “Ameraucana”

[ChickenWhisperer101]

Hi everyone. I purchased 5 “Ameraucanas” from McMurray Hatchery back in June, and 4 are for sure EEs, but this 1 looks so much like an ameraucana that I’m confused. She’s all black, blue feet, really puffy beard/muffs and has a friendly personality. Do you think she is an Ameraucana or an EE? Thank you!


Here’s pictures of her from yesterday, and the last 2 are chick pictures from June/July.

Here are my 4 for sure EEs for comparison. (2 are cockerels and 2 are pullets)

I have a really convincing easter egger from McMurray, but got that answer with olive eggs. With that, although I'm fairly new to the chicken universe, it look like an EE to me, but dont put any weight into my opinion as I am still

learning.

Well, if you wanted to get technical; olive eggers are still EE. EE is just a generic term for any mix bred for colored eggs. EEs, Olive Eggers, Blue Bells, Starlights, Green Queens... They're all Easter Eggers.

Sorry, I worded that weirdly. There was fun speculation to her being an ameraucana, but our assumptions on EE were right when she laid green eggs

I’m going to go get feet pictures now

@Frazzemrat1, The bottoms of her feet are white and she has slate legs.
