Looks quite a bit like lavender orpington, but not as beefy. Pretty coloring though.

I'm sorry to tell you that he's not pure Ameraucana with those wattles and coming from a green egg. He could be considered an Easter Egger, but there is no way to be certain until you hatch some chicks and grow out the pullets. If the pullets lay green or blue, then he's Easter Egger. If they lay brown or white, then he's just a mixed breed.

Don't be sorry to tell me. Lol. I really don't care what he is. Just yet ng to figure out. Friend I got him from is new also to chickens. She bought from a local breeder.

Many use the term Americana for Easter Eggers. There is a true Ameraucana breed, and I agree with junebuggena, you don't have a true Ameraucana, but a very pretty bird! Nothing wrong with that.
