From what I can tell, the breed standards for Americaunas call for a true blue coloring on the eggshells. Not green or brown, as with "Easter Eggers." Is that right? And if so, please tell me where I can buy pure Americauna chicks? Thanks!!
 
Some Ameraucanas lay blue eggs but since they are a cross with other breeds will usually be green. Pure Araucanas should lay a blue egg.
If going for Ameraucanas you'll just have to check with the various breeders to see if their line consistently put out blue egg laying pullets.
And then you'll have to trust them.
 
mypetchicken.com sells true blue americauna and wheaten americauna. Those are new to the site. Check it out. I've purchased from them before. They have low minimums and all 6 of my chicks arrived alive via postal mail 2 years ago.

Do you have pictures of MPC true blue Ameraucanas and Wheaten Ameraucanas?

This is very interesting!
 
I found out that mypetchicken actually is a middleman that sells out of Meyer Hatchery so you can find photos of the Ameracaunas at meyerhatchery.com under Rare Breeds.

Why would anyone want to buy from a hatchery and get substandard birds for $16-$20 each when you can contact breeders from the ameraucana breeders club and pay around $8.00 per chick????
 
I just ordered a few blue ameraucanas from my pet chicken. We'll see. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I say that but I will love them anyway. I am excited. I would love to be able to buy from breeders but I've had a hard time finding them plus I don't get out much in my present condition. But I am wary of breeders too because I have had bad experiences there. I have several little ones now that aren't exactly what I thought I was getting but they are my babies just the same.
