The EE braggers thread!!!

I first bought these babies as week old Araucanas, (pullets) which come to find out they aren't, not that I believe, now I need to make sure they are hens, and are they EEs or Ameracunas? ugh... I have 4.

All pullets in my opinion.

thank you very much, and so you suspect EEs as well? only two are showing the traditional puff check.

Feed store/hatchery "Araucanas", "Americanas" and "Ameraucanas" are only related to the Breed. They are not a breed, they are a mix and they can lay blue, green, brown or white eggs. Yours are all girls - and the beards were lost in their stock - which is just another sign that hatcheries breed for quantity, not quality.

They are great egg producers (thanks to crossing in leghorns) but they are not for showing. Call them Easter Eggers on this site, that way everybody knows what you are talking about.

Araucanas are rumples chickens and have little tuffs (not muffs like EEs) off the side of their faces. You have EEs. You will love them. They are the best!
