That's cool! Real Araucanas and Ameraucanas, or more EEs? I love all of those!
Lol, same for me! I really want some geese. And to get back into quail again - I might in the next few months. What is your fav animal?

Lol, of course! You can't have too many animals! That sounds fun!
My favorite animal is probably....... I LOVE THEM ALL!!! But if I was forced at gunpoint to tell what my favorite was.... i would say Chickens.
Sorry, I don't know the dfference between Americana and EE. I thought EE was just a nickname for Americanas?

Yep!
My favorite is dogs. But I love them all too!
There are two breeds of chickens called Ameraucanas and Araucanas. They are true breeds. Then there are Easter Eggers (EEs) that hatcheries breed and you commonly find. They have no SOP and they usually lay colored eggs, commonly green or blue. They're often mislabeled Americana or Ameraucana. Real Ameraucanas and Araucanas are pretty rare.

Well then, I suppose I will hatch my own true Americana eggs, since I have an Americana rooster and hen. I have 1 americana chick already, and 2 in the incubator!
TheKindaFarmGal
They're probably EEs. Which is awesome, I love them!

I can ask the lady I got them from. She didn't call them EE's, though. DIS EES CUNFUSNG FUR M3!
TheKindaFarmGal
Most people are confused and don't. Like I said - often mislabeled. 
Do you have pics?

Because my rooster never stays still for pics, and when he did it was of his face. his beard is pecked off by the hens.

That's not Ameraucana. :/ Could be an EE but I don't see a beard. If yours is like that but has a beard, you've got an EE.
