The True Truth: How to tell an Easter Egger from an Ameraucana. Even if you think you have an Ameraucana, do check!

Those look more yellow than pink to me.

After seeing the pics of your baby I think they are definitely SGs or SOE
it’s so aggravating to be duped I was at least hoping for EE

Back again I need the expertise on the breed of these please. These are pictures from the lady I got them from, I can try to get better pictures tomorrow if need be. She said White Ameraucanas, 1 is white but I’m thinking the other 2 may be splash or are they EE? She got them from Valley Farms hatchery, I hadn’t heard of it before so I’m unsure if it’s like Hoover

I’m not sure what mine is? Her name is Pumpkin! We rescued her while she was wondering around our neighbor! We saved her from being eaten by raccoons! I think she has a pea comb? She has pink/whiteish coloring on the bottoms of her feet. She has blue kote on her feet still from fixing her bumble foot issue!She also lays blue eggs! She just lays them really thin shelled and will lay a soft shelled egg about every 3-4 months on the perch. Or at least she has at least 3 times since we’ve had her! So almost a year! I also have no idea how old she is?

They look like white ameraucanas so far.

Easter egger, great job rescuing her!

Awesome thank you… even the 2 with gray/blue on their heads, chest & upper back are considered white?
I hate that their adorable little muffs aren’t visible in the pics, they are white on all

Hi I was wondering how you can tell she’s an EE? I really don’t know much about them but is it possible she could be a mix between a silver ameraucana and a red brown ameraucana? Or what else would she be a mix of?

I don’t see blue feathers in the picture, just white ones.

Red brown x silver wouldn’t produce a coloring like that. Also, she has a large pea comb, meaning she has one recessive single comb gene. A purebred ameraucana be pure for the pea comb gene. She’s an Easter egger x Easter egger mix.

With it being down would it change to white?

My very, very sneaky EEs ( I think ). The only thing in my rooster is his leakage and his pea comb is a messed up, but his legs are slate, feet are white & his body shape is very nice, in my opinion. View attachment 2753782View attachment 2753779

and here’s my hen ( from the same ‘breeder’ ):
