There is a lady in town here that does the same thing. Puts a post in the Front Porch Forum in January. She sells eggs, raises meat birds for sale, runs the 4H program.

Oh, not good. EE's never have yellow legs, they should be greenish. I've set "watch" on your thread and will follow her progress. Persephone was the last of my original 12 gotten in June 2012, she died March last year, nearly 10 years old. She was still laying the prior summer.

I'm glad you are happy that she is an Easter Egger. I looked at the page you linked, even the picture they have is not a recognized APA Ameraucana color. However, given they are charging Easter Egger prices for their (non) Ameraucanas, you haven't been taken advantage of. Hopefully she will lay...

I had an EE hen that looked like yours, did you get them from Meyers?

Got it, you are happy because he is at least carrying the blue egg gene, for your breeding program.

I am confused, why is an Ameraucana laying green a GOOD sign?

Most definitely! 24 hour light and constant heat is NOT natural. MHP chicks are quiet ALL night long. They aren't too hot and they aren't kept awake by light. Mama heating pad brooder thread And another thing - that business about the chicks requiring 95° ambient the first week dropping by 5°...

It doesn't say so in my signature but every hen I have other than the 2 remaining ones from 2012 came from Meyer. A nice thing about a real Ameraucana is that she WILL lay blue eggs. EE's CAN but in my experience they are more likely to be greenish than really blue. Of course an EE can lay...

If you ordered a blue/black/splash Ameraucana it will be an Ameraucana. I don't know about SOP quality. You must have gotten the last one their site says they are sold out. Meyer has been selling EEs as EEs for many years. They weren't lying like some hatcheries and calling them Americana or...

Sounds like a good plan. I've not had any Ameraucanas but really like EEs. 5 of my current 20 hens are EEs.

They are EEs, that isn't one of the recognized Ameraucana colors. Though there are now some hatcheries selling true Ameraucana, I think most any "Ameraucana/Americana" you find at TSC or a feed store will be an EE. Ameraucana's are always sold as "color" Ameraucana.

Please do. My understanding is that before there was an APA Araucana breed followed by an APA Ameraucana breed, the birds these two breeds were developed from were called Araucana the Easter Egg chicken because of the blue and green eggs. The original blue egg chickens came from the Araucania...

Funny isn't it that the hatcheries could sell EEs before there was a recognized Ameraucana breed but then sold the same line of birds as Ameraucana when surely they were not.

I see that Ideal has finally admitted that they are selling Easter Eggers, not Ameraucana :D I got my first 12 chicks from them in 2012, 2 still living and the EE still laying regularly. I "argued" with them that they were selling EEs not Ameraucana and they replied that since EE is not a breed...

Yep, this whole virus thing has put a lot of products that were previously purchased locally into the USPS/UPS/FedEx stream. Amazon is doing great business! DW is a postal clerk, said the package volume is greater than Christmas time!

You and thousands of others. It highly annoys me that hatcheries list their EEs as Ameraucana. EEs are not a breed any more than sex links are but they don't try to pass off the sex links as something else. Ameraucana is a breed with specific "requirements". I won't buy anything from those...

Which is OK, I love my EEs! They are a quarter of my current flock. One is 8 years old and still laying. My what a nice brooder space they have!

That is one accommodating rooster!

Nope. Most of my EEs, and my Faverolles have nice beards after they moult, all but one of the EEs get their beards eaten off. Doesn't look at all like a beardless chicken.

Old off on getting that cockerel until you find out both of those are pullets, just in case.
