I hate to ask, but where did you get your ameraucana?

No worries Tractor Supply it's the only local place so my husband went in on saw they had Brahmas and "Ameraucanas but maybe it said "Americans"

well, I wanted to point out that the likelihood is that those are easter eggers as well.

The silkies? So basically a mix breed of a silky and something else?

No, I was referring to any 'ameraucana' you bought at a feed store. The likelihood is that they're easter eggers as well.

So...how will I know if the Silkies are actual Silkies or a mix? They have the colors, the feathered legs, the puff ball look...

They shouldn't be able to do that!

Tractor supply seems to get Silkies mixed in often. I have a friend who also has a accidental silkie also from Tractor supply. We have a few americaunas also. Love em!

She thought she was getting Ameraucanas but ended up with one Easter Egger and 4 silkies instead.

So how can I tell?

Your Easter egger is the cockerel you got... hatcheries sell them as Ameracaunas but they are not purebred Ameracaunas...they are a mixed breed so they are Easter Eggers.

Not sure about the breeds, the people posting above seem to know it though!
Those chicks are super cute! I love their colors! I love seeing other Easter Eggers with different colors! My EE is an EE and Barred Rock cross so she never got any flashy colors. Love her though!

Hope you find out what your chicks are! They sure are cute!
