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

… Well, they all have slate legs, I think, but I don’t know enough about chicken colors yet to know if they’re off-model in any other way.

The top boy looks to have a pretty patchy beard, too, but I don’t know if that’s disqualifying, or if he has a pea comb or a modified pea comb… but it’s taller than the other boy’s, so, throwing out a guess- EE, Ameraucana, Ameraucana?

Patchy beard and muffs is from the girls picking it. Top boys comb is to tall so could be modified but he's still an Ameraucana but with faults. I need to breed him to a female with an outstanding pea comb to fix that in his line. They are all Ameraucana in the rare color of Silver. It's rareness is why they have faults. Its very hared to find breeders of the Silver variety. Work to get them back on track is going to take alot of work.
