(1) Is an Easter Egger, (2) Looks like a Mille Fleur D'uccle cross

 

[Birds of a Feather]

Don't Easter Eggers usually have a beard and muffs? The 2nd one could be a Millie Fleur D'Uccle, but Millie Fleurs usually have white spots on their feathers as well.

Some Easter egger come with beards and some don't. I hatched 3 mixed breed Easter egger and 2 of the 3 had beards.

Aren't these easter eggers?

Easter eggers isn't a true breed. mixed Americanas are Easter egger. They will lay all different colored eggs. They all will look different depending on what breed they get stuck with. Some have regular combs some have pea combs. Some have beards others don't. That's what an Easter egger is, it's not a true breed. Like the others.

Easter Egger and either a hatchery-quality, off-colored Mille Fleur d'Uccle, or a d'Uccle mix. It's true, not all EEs are bearded.

Not all Easter Eggers are Ameraucana mixes. Technically they're any bird that happens to possess the blue egg gene, and doesn't conform to any breed standard.
