I try but I don't know how to do it. It always somehow ends up on marketplace. Then the ad gets flagged. But thanks. I will try to find someone to walk me through it.

Thanks. I am only interested in selling locally.

To HuffleClaw, what does your comment mean?

very interesting thread. Let's keep it going. I want to breed these darling birds, want to follow what others are saying. Thx. for all the replies. ChocolateMouse, you are a brainiac!

I also think that since this breed is so new and so hotly debated, nothing will be settled in the near future and there will be confusion for awhile.

Thank you. Your reply has been incredibly informative. Still I would like to breed Ameraucanas in spite of it all!!! I love the beard, muff, and ear tufts. No worries, I will sell them as Easter Eggers until I get a manageable flock. Maybe I should go to more shows!

Excellent reply Chocolate Mouse. Very helpful. No I am not going to "pass off" my birds; I am not too angry. I can keep them and very easily sell my eggs, and I WILL sell them as EE's unless I see evidence otherwise since people love the green egg laying aspect of the breed. What has me...

I don't mean to be contradictory, but the definition of day old chicks and pullets is not the same. Day old chicks are day old chicks. The definition of pullet (which I sell) is "a young hen, especially one that is under a year old" I am just trying to wrap my mind around all this information...

I would like to thank you all for your sincere efforts in helping me. If I seemed cross, I apologize. I learned A LOT. Apparently whatever I bought will breed true to blue egg color and that is what I care about and what others who are buying care about. 15 years ago I noticed that people...

With all due respect, I mean that, if hatcheries are selling/labeling chicks that they are not then it seems they would fold, or at least get fined for selling something that is not what they say. I have to believe that they are held accountable to some local, state, or federal laws. All...

I bought these as day old chicks. I know pullets are more. When I go to sell these as fresh laying Ameraucanas I get $45 a piece for them. I contacted the hatchery and they absolutely insist that they are Ameraucanas so I don't know what to believe.

I did contact the hatchery and they insist that they are Ameraucanas. Here is the link to what they sold me. https://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/americanas.html. I appreciate all the help. Yes I am happy that they are happy and healthy, but I bought them to sell them when they came of age...

Should I report the website that states that the chicken that is pictured is an Ameraucana? according to you all it is not . . .

Interesting. so how do I know that? The pic was from a website that sanctioned Ameraucanas and the pic was not an Ameraucana.

Not trying to be argumentative, by the way. Just trying to find out what really IS the standard.
