In case anyone is interested, I sent an email to Ideal poultry asking about their Ameraucana's.  Wanted to know if they were pure Ameraucana or EE.  Here's the email I got in return:

"Jennifer—

                The Ameraucanas that we have are purebred, but we do not separate them according to color, which means they are not recognized always as a particular color.

Thank you,
 
Julie Eason"

. That's a mighty convoluted way of saying they are EEs!

Welcome aboard trailhound! (and any other newbies I missed since I've been on so little lately)

Headed back to Pittsburgh this week. DH's grandmother passed away, so we're headed up for a couple days of funeralling. Hope I don't lose any more chickens this time!

So there you have it. We got ours from the Southern States in Asheboro that orders from Ideal. She is a fantastic bird, she got off to a rough start bullying her way up the pecking order but once everyone let her rule the roost she calmed down considerably. Gives me an egg a day six days a week.

This is the great conundrum with Ameraucanas. Technically, they are purebred when it comes to genetics but not according to the SOP.

There are two ways to look at them.

If you look at them as a breed all ameraucanas lay blue/green eggs, have peacombs, and slate color legs. If they come from a mix of purebred AMS they should ALL have at least those qualities.

If you look at them according to the SOP established by breeders they would be EEs.
 
Good morning folks

Going to be a Brrrrr day......... I just may break out
a sweater for today. I had hoped to have them packed
away by now. The house hen seems no worse but no
better either......I think she has moved in. The cats
think I'm nuts......they are more than likely right.
