Hi,

Newbie here....sorry for the dumb question, but I wanted to know (so I can look less stupid

) what exactly do I call this chick?? I thought I was buying an Americauna....my receipt at the feed store said "Araucana"....but maybe she is an EE....I am so confused!!

Here she is at one day old....

You can sort of see her back here....but it looks like a brown wide brown stripe down her back...

You have a very pretty EE. Great cheeks on that one! Enjoy, EEs are wonderful!

The rules I have learned to follow is
1. If you have to ask its an EE
2. If bought at a feed store or hatchery they are EE
3. Ask breeder where they got their stock if they hatchery or feed store chicks are EE


Just makes it so much easier and that way I don't upset anyone Cute chick by the way

You are welcome I learned this through reading and really looking at the difference when I had my one true Ameraucana versus my 3 EE there is a big difference but I love EE's they are so cool and come in so many different colors I have 2 now here the picture of mine
The light one is Elnora, the dark one is recluse
