What will my Ameraucana chick look like?

[Fishkeeper]

A lot of baby chicks look similar. Give her a week or so.
Many large chain farm supply places either misidentify chicks by mistake or sort of don't care enough to keep from mixing them up.

she has the "eyeliner" on both eyes, and banding on her back.
I'm uploading more pictures right now.

She is a darling Easter egger.

how can you tell?

That is because half of the phoyos on Google labeled as Ameraucana are actually Easter eggers.

stupid google

stupid google

Google is only as good as the information it's given, the difficulty is as you have now seen many people are under the impression at their bird is one breed when they are not… causing them to upload those photos to the Internet labeling them as the breed that they believe them to be..... those are the search results Google has to work with

 

[so lucky]

My local feed store sells their Easter eggers labeled Ameraucanas.

well I guess I have an EE!! I can't wait to see how she turns out! and the beautiful eggs she lays. Thanks for the help!

You can look at the Ameraucana breed club site for actual pictures of purebreds.
EEs come in many interesting color combinations, can lay eggs aqua, green, tan or whatever, most often have green legs, and very often are much better layers than the purebreds. I love them, myself.

Ameraucanas have slate colored legs, not green.
