What is the breed of these chickens?

[surgerynut]

I have a couple of chickens of which I'm unsure of the breed. I think the grey was is Aracauna but I don't have a clue what the other is.

The first one looks like mine, and I was told it's a mix between a Delaware and a Columbian Rock.

The grey one is an Easter Egger.

Easter Egger is a generic term for several different breeds which lay blue eggs isn't it? Do you think this is one particular Easter Egger Breed?

An Easter Egger is a chicken,A lot of the time that is mixed with an ameraucana or araucana that lays colored eggs. (In Olive,Blue,Pink,ect.) Yours is definitely a hatchery "ameraucana" or one from a feed store,or just somewhere that breeds easter eggers. While real ameraucanas and auracaunas lay actually colored eggs,there are some main differences I can get in to,but it would take forever. Coloring and puffs are most reasons. If they do not have tufts/puffs,then they're a EE. If they do,but aren't the right color they're an EE too.

Ameraucana-

Araucana-

Easter Eggers-

Thanks!! I love your profile pic by the way!! SO cute. I hope you figure out what the other one is! He kinda looks like an easter egger without puffs,but he's probably a rock mix. Looks like your easter egger will lay dark olive eggs/green! Now you won't have to dye easter eggs. Lol
