    Ameraucana, looking, not much luck

    If you have Ameraucana chickens, where did you get them from? Were you happy? Has anyone gotten Ameraucanas from TSC? Were they Ameraucana or EE? Did they lay blue eggs? More local, but what about Frog Pond Farms, NY? Appreciate any responses, thanks! -Chrissy
