Thank you for your help. I love my EE's. 1st is my EE rooster and the rest are EE hens. I absolutly love their color patterns. Even my odd white with buff color on her chest named Snow White. Last pic. is my EE's & LB. Love them all.

What would these be? The seller just called them Easter Eggers but they look nothing like the other Easter Eggers I own

I bought black ameraucana hatching eggs and where all black but one, pictures below at about 6 weeks old.

I got this little girl sometime in March or June, before we were quarantined in my area. I have no idea what she is, but she is a bantam of some kind. At first I thought she was a Belgian bearded, but looking at pics told me she was not.
EE or Ameraucana?
Thanks in advance for any help, it is greatly appreciated.

The black looks pure. The other....not so much. Which makes you doubt the purity of them all.

What color does she lay?
Run her through the quiz. You'll be able to tell.

She hasn't started laying yet. Too young.
I ran her through the quiz, still couldn't tell. I'm not an expert at finding out breeds.
