My Father In Law in Texas bought some feed store Ameraucanas, but I told him they might be EEs. He can't remember what the sign said/spelled Ameri or Ameraucana...he was just blinded by the need to have some chicks!!! LOL
Are there any forms of True Ameraucanas that would would hatch a chick that is brown chipmunk striped?
Here is a picture of 6 Americaunas and 6 SLW:

What color eggs are they supposed to lay? I got 2 last year that lay white eggs....I was kind of disappointed...

 

[DMRippy]

Easter eggers are mutts so with out know what genes they carry I would expect any color.....that is why they are called Easter eggers.

I'm leaning towards EE, but some of these are gonna have muffs. I'm just loving hearing the new chicks

I've got mutt EE's I've breed that have muffs. I find that those w/ muffs & slate legs almost always lay a blue-green egg, whereas those w/ less of those characteristics tend toward the other colors, for example I had some that laid a lovely peach-pink egg, 3 sisters looked alike and laid alike.

I have RIR, BR, and cuckoo Marans right now, so a new color will be nice
