What breed are my chicks?

[WeirdOwl]

She has willow legs and is the typical, "old-fashioned" Easter Egger before the Legbar mixes took off in recent years

Here is Harrietta, she was also sold as an Ameracauna. Is she also an Easter egger? ETA she is around a month younger than the other chicks and still stays in a brooder

Easter Eggers are commonly sold as "Americanas" -- with the misspelling to ward off lawsuits for false advertising.

Actual Ameraucanas come in named color varieties and cost $15-$20 each for sexed pullets rather than in mixed colors at $4-6 each for sexed pullets.

Thank you! That makes sense because I did notice it was misspelled.

I'm happy having Easter Eggers! I wanted one and now I have 4!
