What is this “Americana” mixed with?

[CityslickerHomestead]

I’m wondering what she is mixed with. She was sold as an “Americana” which I now know thanks to the BYC Community means nothing and is just a marketing ploy by hatcheries capitalizing on the similarity to the Ameraucana name. She’s an Easter egger and I’m totally ok with that!

She’s from Hoover Hatchery. I think she’s part Welsummer? But she has a small beard so does that mean she does have Ameraucana in her? Or maybe Cream Legbar?

She's a pretty little Easter Egger

She is a pretty EE, with those green legs.

As to her mix... Typically, hatcheries breed their EE to each other. So, she's an ameraucana mix, even though her ameraucana genes are probably pretty far back. She doesn't have legbar in her, or she'd have a crest.

I love her green legs. I know it’s a waiting game but I can’t wait to see what color eggs she will lay.
