Anyone know anything about this project color? http://www.ebay.com/itm/12-Amerauca...913?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27d72b93f9

Look at the leg color on the chick, YELLOW. Someone seems to be marketing their EEs in a creative way.

But the adults have slate legs and they're pretty uniform. Still EE's but really pretty. At least they do admit that they throw partridge or white in addition to the chestnut and snow which is a really long name for a color variety.

How do you tell Ameraucanas and Easter Eggers apart?

Has anyone ordered John Blehms Chanteclers?  I am just wondering what kind of quality he's getting.  

You are talking about tge breed? I am raising Chantecler...but woundering what is the link with amérau?

Also...question for you guys...I have a 5 months amérau pullet. This morning I saw ny roo breeding her...does that mean she is ready? Will lay soon?. If she wasn't ready did she would have accepted the breeding?

Try searching that question on this site. It's been answered many times. You can also go to ameraucana.org

John Blehm breeds wonderful ameraucanas, but he has also started breeding chanteclers and I was wondering if anyone had seen or gotten chanteclers from him and, if so, what the quality was like.

I'm sure John would only sell ("put his name on") quality stock, however he has no Chanteclers for sale in '14

I agree with you there, I wasn't questioning his judgement, just wondering if anybody had gotten any from him. Last year, he was completely honest on his site in saying that he needed to improve their quality, but I have a feeling he was being overly self-critical.

perhaps that is why he is not offering in 2014. there are a couple of Chantecler threads here on BYC
