What breed is she?

[qldchook]

Can someone advise what breed or mix Alice may be. She is very small and fine. Lays light blue BIG egggs, and is about 8 months old. Her cheeks puff out quite dramatically. She is quite a cranky hen to all other hens (even though smaller than everyone else) & very protective of the rooster. Was sold to me as Araucana, is that correct or is she a mixture?
Thanks

She is an Easter egger and is a mix containing Ameraucana and possibly Araucana blood.

I had never heard the term EE (in Australia) and only found out about it from this site. What exactly does EE mean? Can anyone direct me to a profile or post pic of Ameraucana & Araucana so I can see the difference. She certainly has a very different personality to any other breed I own. My family all call her "Cobra Chicken" because of the way she puffs out her cheeks. Thank you both

She's super pretty!

Oops, she may be an Araucana. I know that in parts of Europe and perhaps in Australia they are a slightly different bird from what we have in the states. Do a search on this site on Ameraucana or Araucana, and some threads with pictures will come up.

The UK standard has a tailed and rumpless variety. The LF tailed has more standard colors than the US. They have a crest, which is different from the US and the most notable difference.

Here is a link to the UK breeder's club (same standard in Australia as in Britain: http://www.araucana.org.uk/large_tailed_std.html

Its so funny because we all think she is a bit ugly! Don't worry I love her anyway but her looks combined with her bossiness, makes us laugh at her.
