Sold to me as baby chicks

[Lawrence Lovestock]

They are 20 weeks old. I got a blue egg yesterday n today and its from one of these two (process of elimination). When I bought these 2 as baby chicks I was told the brown one is an Ameraucana and the white one is a Whiting True Blue. Is this correct?

Brown one is an easter egger and gave you your blue egg. White one could be a whiting true blue, I'm not sure, though.

The first one looks like an Ameraucana to me. I'm not sure about the second.

Ameraucanas come in recognized colors (blue, lavender, wheaten, etc) and this chicken isn't one of them. Ameraucanas also have both muffs and beards, and this one has neither. Easter egger.

Right, sorry I've only ever had Ameraucanas and have no clue what easter eggers are honestly

The top one is most likely an EE, I have quite a few of those, and the white could be either Americauna or Aracouna, I only have EE's and Americaunas.

EEs and Americaunas are the same. It's not an araucana as those are rumpless (have no tails)

Easter eggers are mutts that usually have pea combs, pointy hackle feathers, and lighter bodies. They can lay blue, green, brown, or pink. They sometimes have muffs and or beards. Ameraucanas come in recognized colors and have a breed standard, they always have muffs and beards. They lay blue. If you recognized the top one as an ameraucana, your 'ameraucanas' may be EEs.

Could have been either one that gave you the blue egg, Your brown one is an EE and the white one is the Whiting True Blue.
