Hi, I have an Ameraucana rooster. Which breeds of hens do you recommend to breed him with to get Easter Eggers?
Thanks, Donna

No offense was meant in asking about the source - many people are not aware of the issue with hatchery sourced "Ameraucana" and operate under the assumption that their birds are what they were represented to be, not realizing that they are actually Easter Eggers. It is an important distinction in a situation such as your post where you are wanting to breed Easter Eggers using your roosters because if they were not true Ameraucana there would be the issue of the questionable genetics they would bring to the proposed Easter Egger equation.I have a black one and these two. They aren't hatchery birds since those are actually EE's. What do you think? Look good or no?
No offense taken at all. We got them from a friend who assured us they were true Ameraucanas. That's one of the reasons I posted pics, so I could get some good opinions. We want to do it right.No offense was meant in asking about the source - many people are not aware of the issue with hatchery sourced "Ameraucana" and operate under the assumption that their birds are what they were represented to be, not realizing that they are actually Easter Eggers.
