What is the best store bought feed to give my Ameraucana's I am going to show?

Except when you want to show them. Then you have to follow the breed standard rules. Like a person said a couple posts before, the breed standard says any bird that meets the Ameraucana standard and breeds true 50% of the time is an Ameraucana. But everyone is misreading that or does not...

I considered the lavenders and splashes and colors like that pure Ameraucana tell a couple days ago. The Ameraucana breeders sure don't. I have been chastised many times in the last few days. The whole calling a pure bird like a lavender or a splash an Easter Egger is ridiculous in my opinion...

Ok thank you. So many things to learn.

Can you show the lavenders since they are really Easter eggers?

Can EE birds be shown in open class or any other class?

After finding out my Ameraucana pair were considered Easter eggers a couple days ago I did tons of research and found a breeder on the Ameraucana Breeders Association near me. Because my young boys are going to show chickens I picked that young black pair up last night. They are both from John...

Do these 2 meet the Ameraucana standard for everyone? Curious what the response will be.

What if an Ameraucana that is considered an Easter egger because of its color breeds true 50% of the time, then can you say you have an Project bird and not an EE? These rules are kind of crazy on this breed.

But they are still Ameraucana. They are just not the accepted colors. It's not like they are half Ameraucana and half another breed.

They are still full blood Ameraucana's. They are just not one of the 8 primary breed colors. So they could not be showed as Ameraucana. By the standards of calling these Easter eggers then lavenders and all other color offshoots are Easter eggers.

They are full blood Ameraucana. They just are not one of the 8 primary colors as far as I can tell. And since they are not one of the 8 primary colors some Ameraucana people consider them Easter eggers. A true Easter egger is half Ameraucana. There is actually a calculator to determine if you...

Thanks for the help. I was afraid they were Easter eggers.

I bought these from a breeder that said they were full blood Ameraucana. I was looking into letting my boys show them and am questioning wether they meet the breed standard on color after looking at the websites. I always considered the hen black and the rooster white. [/IMG]
