Thanks for all the replies. I was initially bummed that what was supposed to be purebred Ameraucana was actually EE. She was supposed to be minimal blue wheaten Ameraucana. When she hatched as a chipmunk striped cutie, I had my doubts. Now I am kind-of glad she isn't a wheaten. I really love her color. And since it seems she is a pullet I will tell my 10 year old son to stop calling her "Beard-O" or "Blackbeard." She needs a name and one that a 10 year old doesn't chose.Easter Egger, looks like a pullet. Beautiful Blue Silver Partridge color. She's going to be a lovely hen.
Just curious @junebuggena how do you tell at this young age that it is an EE versus a purebred Ameraucana?Easter Egger, looks like a pullet. Beautiful Blue Silver Partridge color. She's going to be a lovely hen.
With your bird, it's coloring is the main give away. Ameraucana only have a few accepted colors/varieties. That girl does not even come close to matching any of them. That alone disqualifies her being an Ameraucana. Easter Eggers can be any color/pattern combination.Just curious @junebuggena how do you tell at this young age that it is an EE versus a purebred Ameraucana?
I'm going with cockerel. Those hackle feathers are long, thin and pointed and loose around the neck, not tight and rounded as they would be on a pullet.
