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

[TheOddOneOut]

Here's my EE, who's a Silver split to gold Birchen. Legs are slate, no yellow skin, has lightly feathered legs, & has a shield comb.
He hatched from an egg that was blue inside, & out.

Cool! Can you post some pics? I would love to see how they have turned out.
It's a bit early for crowing.

Yep, totally. I updated the gender reveal thread

He's gorgeous.

Thanks.
I also have an EE pullet I got from TSC who has curled tufts sprouting on her middle neck on both sides. Like an Aruacana's ear tufts, but on the neck, not on the ears though.
I'm also waiting for her to start laying.

Our current Easter Eggers are Silver Wing, Chipmunk, S'more, Hershey, Sandy, and Piper.

Some more photos of past Easter Eggers. Pilgrim, Phoenix, Ivy, Pinecone, Warrior, and Eagle (all pictured). Not pictured are Candy, Acorn, and Strike.

We have also hatched many chicks, but have no idea who is half Easter Egger.

Do hatcheries market EEs as Ameraucanas? do pure ameraucanas have more value or something. I feel that I should trust the hatchery as opposed to people on the internet

Can you tell what mine is? I got it from my contractor when it was 1.5 years old. He wasn't sure what it was.

Oh my gosh that looks like my “ameraucana”! Unfortunately, it’s because she gets bullied
