Sold to me as baby chicks

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.

I had said EE for blue egg because EE looks closer to laying.

No worries. Had not noticed that part!

Thank you! I really wanted an Ameraucana cuz I thought I had one in my flock that’s one year now. Those were sold to me as Ameraucana’s but learned in here I could not get one for $5 from a feed store. This one I bought from a breeder who brought in the chicks from McMurray and sold for $20 to me as Ameraucana. From the price I thought it was so. Oh well! now I have 3 EE’s. My 2 older give me a blue and a green. My 20 weeks whiting true green gives me a darker green so now I have 2 green and 2 blue so far blue all
my browns and 2 white eggs from my leghorns

That's such a fun, colorful egg basket! Generally if you're buying an 'ameraucana' it should be a color. If they can't say 'these are black ameraucana chicks' and just 'these are ameraucana chicks' they're probably EEs. Also if the chicks have a chipmunk striped, brown pattern, they are usually EEs.

I agree, the brown one is an Easter Egger and the white one could be a Whiting Blue. They're both very pretty girls!

It seems common that sellers try to pass off EEs as Ameraucanas to get a higher price. Some even misspell the name just enough that a lot of people won’t notice (like “Americana” or “Ameracuana”), taking advantage of the fact that a lot of people can’t spell it right anyway and won’t notice. Then, if caught, the seller can claim they’re not really scamming you because technically they’re not selling you Ameraucanas.
