What breed is this pullet?

Nope. Easter eggers are a mixed breed with *some* ameraucana or araucana in them causing them to lay colored eggs. (a mutt) True ameraucanas and araucanas are a pure breed and only lay blue eggs.

EE maybe mixed with buff brahma

Legs are slate,no green.Comb is single no pea.There is no beard.Notting realy says EE.She has 2 birds who look the same.There is not big chance 2 EE to be soo similar. I think (not sure) these birds are hatchery Golden Lakenvelders.You have to wait for the eggs

ve, I think you read my mind....I was going through the thread and was surprised everyone said EE, I don't see it at ALL. I do agree with you that she is most likely a hatchery golden lakenvelder. EE's should have at least ONE(although most have two) of these traits BEARD/MUFF , GREEN LEGS, PEA COMB(almost ALL will have a pea comb if they don't have the other two) although I have seen some EEs with straight combs but they had beard/muff and green legs. If they are lakenvelders then they will lay a white or slightly tinted egg

Okay, you're onto something with the Lakenvelder.

Look at this:

That's pretty much exactly what these two looked like at that age.

I need to get some new pics.

Good deal! I knew somebody would figure it out! I've never seen a golden Lakenvelder before So I would never have guessed that breed.

I think it does look like the Lankenvelder pic. posted. I wouldn't think it's a cross if it's from a hatchery, but what do I know?
