Which is an EE and which is a light brown leghorn?

[ChickaNew]

Hi everyone, this is my first post. Please help me dentify which is an EE and which is a light brown leghorn between these two three-week old baby chicks.

Cleo.


Jewel (in the front)

I've seen pictures of baby chicks of both breeds, an they both look like Jewel, with the dark brown stripe on the top and the cleopatra eyes. I've guessed that Cleo is the leghorn and Jewel is the EE. Is that correct?

It's the other way around. See the fluffy cheeks on cleo?

You're right. Now I need to switch their names, which will make much more sense. My eight-year old daughter will be so happy that she was right. She wanted to get the light brown leghorn because the baby chicks have thick Cleopatra eyes. Thank you!

If cleo winds up with tufts instead of a beard, then he/she comes from Araucana instead of Ameraucana.

Watch out for red on "her" wings or chest, these are indicative of a cockerel.

cleo is a EE, and jewel is the leghorn...
