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

[BleuSaphir]

I bought two EE to keep my at mom friend place.
While the white colored is not my preferred choice. But it the few selection of EE they had left.

She really love to stay on my hands, especially when she tired too. Which is absolutely adorable how fast she showing her calmness and personality around me. The white one definitely a more leader role. She only curious to get on my hands when the other one want to.

I name the white one-Yong; mean Perpetual and brave. Which exactly describe her personality.

The other one-Areum. Which mean beautiful in Korean.

Those are a completely different breed, neither Easter egger nor Ameraucana.

They look more like Sapphire Gems or something. Definitely not EEs or Ameraucanas.

Wow that’s crazy. I bought them as “Ameraucanas” being the noob I am I guess I really need to learn what day old chicks look like for different breeds

Would Sapphire Gems have slate legs? I’ll try to get better pics later today, my “girls” are 3 weeks old now & have slate legs with pink on the bottom of their feet but these are pics from their first week

Yes, they have slate legs.
Sapphire gems are pretty easy to sex, because girls have that grey/blue color, and males are barred.

Thank you. I kinda figured they weren’t Ameraucana as labeled but I was hoping for EE maybe I’ll get lucky with Sapphire Olive Eggers
If you can’t tell I’m a newbie we acquired 5 barnyard mixes from a friend & well chicken math is real. So now I’m chasing that rainbow & got excited thinking I’d found my dream chickens (Ameraucana) lesson learned & I still love my little fluffs even if all 7 pullets end up laying brown
