I did post this sweetie weeks ago. She was said to be an Araucana. (We are in Australia if this makes a difference)
Just wanna check if we still think that? Or if she’s more Easter egger?
And I guess I better ask.
She is a girl …. Right? 😂 💛 🙃

The specifics on Araucana vary in different parts of the world.
The original ones were rumpless.
Possibly Down under,, they have rumps :idunno
There is another close cousin call Ameraucana, Those do have rumps.
Now to clarify the term Easter Egger. There are other chickens included in this category. General requirement,, is the eggs to be colorful. Not just light or dark brown.
Your chicken looks to me like an Ameraucana EE.
I had 3 hens one time,, all from same bin purchase. Each hen layed slightly different color eggs. I do miss them. One lived for almost 12 years.


WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and:welcome

Thank you! I didn’t hatch her, just bought her from a store with two others and he said there were some Araucanas and some EEs ! The other two wrre definitely EEs and didn’t not look like her at all haha
 
It could be either an Aussie type Araucana or a mix of that breed (Easter egger.) I couldn't see the comb too well-- a pure Araucana should have a pea comb.

I really like her coloring!
She’s stunning isn’t she? I’ll have a look at her comb today and take a photo. I have no idea WHAT I’m looking at , I’m still learning
