What Breed Is This?

[whatsthequestion]

I purchased some Ameraucana chicks and this little guy turned out to be a surprise. He has beautiful plumage. Can anyone tell me what breed he is? He is about 10 - 11 weeks old. Thank you!

Not an Easter Egger. EE have muffs.

Here is a better picture. He's missing the poofy feathers on the sides if his face.

Not an Easter Egger. EE have muffs.

Not all EEs. They are mutts that lay colored eggs (and are often mislabeled as ameraucanas). Some bred by hatcheries don’t even lay colored eggs.

I would say EE it looks just like one I used to have

My other guess would be a silver laced wyandotte/ Rhode island red mix.

So... any mix breed can be labeled as a EE? Can an EE mix be labeled as an EE?

I thought EEs didnt have wattles though.
