Thanks for the reply!are they americana or EE? the first one looks like it will be the common EE Coloring which is like Golden Duckwing...could be wrong
The 2nd idk
Thanks for the reply!
I bought them from Runnings and the metal tub they had them said "Ameraucana" on it... so they must be.
yup there EEs lol. As the last poster said hatcherys Only sell EEs but miss lable them. EEs are better in ways. They are healthier and lay soo many differnt colored eggs and come in soooo many colors. I have no idea what color the 2nd chick will be. Might turn out white with black through its feathers or like a culumbian color...just a guess lol
Thank you for the info! I guess hatchery chicks are very poor quality. I have an EE that I really like.. so I totally know what you mean lol!
Yes I'll do that. The 2nd one is already getting feathers on it's wings. It looks like black and white pattern?Post pics of them in a few weeks after they get there wing feathers and some feathering on there body.
Maybe we can help more then with color

I don't know that I would say that.
Hatchery birds do not accurately reflect how the breed is supposed to be - there are flaws in coloring, size, type, leg color, etc. For this reason, if you are breeding, you do not want hatchery stock. However, they do great at what they are bred to do.............crank out eggs.
Your birds are Easter Eggers. To get pure Ameraucana's (notice no "i" in the spelling), you need to go through a breeder. There is nothing wrong with EE's. I have an EE and 2 pure Ameraucana's and enjoy them both.
The first will be partridge in coloring. The 2nd, I'm not sure, but possibly black and white.
