    I really like that first one! She looks partridge or something. I am really into pattern genes and she has something going on. I am sorry sorry you got the "hostile" vibe from the Ameraucana thread. I remember feeling the exact same way. In fact at one point I vowed I would never join the...

    I put my backyard mix EE eggs in lockdown today! What an idea to take eggs from your own back yard that were laid by your hen, fertilized by your own rooster and put them in an incubator and HATCH them!! What an amazing idea! Why isn't everyone doing this?? lol I joke of course. I have...

    The EE braggers thread!!!

    I am not sure if araucana eggs are bluer. I guess it really depends on if egg color was what the breeder was really working on or body type. I have seen very pale ameraucana eggs and amazing turquoise eggs too, Yes it is true if you cross a pure blue egger to a white egger you get pale blue...

    Quote: I have some like that too. I have just been calling it wild type. Seems like breeding with no color in mind gets you back to brown. Lol. Like when you mix all your crayon colors together you get brown? Lol I don't know for sure actually.

    Quote: Wow that bird is almost identical to one of my EE hens. Where did you get her from? Mine was from mypetchicken.com. Not sure where they really come from but I would swear my hen and your hen are related.

    Quote: Here is a pick of my easter eggers from mypetchicken.com that I got last year. They are the yellow-ey ones. All the EE's had a chipmunk stripe down their body. They did have darker legs even when they were little. I am not sure if mypetchicken gets all their EE's from the same place...

    Quote: Those are beautiful birds!! I love Ricky! I think the Ameraucana club is still pretty new compared to some other breeds so they are very fussy about anything other than the show standards being called "ameraucana". They have done a lot of work to get the breed straightened out. But...

    Quote: Lol!! I did the same thing... Stared and studied my chicks trying so hard to determine who was a hen and who was a roo. (all 16 were sold to me as hens) Now I know why it was so hard to figure out who was a roo...they were all hens. Lol!!! Hope yours are too! Edited for spelling..argh!

    Quote: I remember the first chicks I got. We bought them from a local lady who sells them at a feed store. She told us that they were 3 months old. I had no idea what the growth rate of chickens was so I believed her. I put them outside in their new chicken coop. It rained a little that...

    Quote: I think she might be more of a Brown Leghorn crossed with an Ameraucana, her big white earlobes and color hint more to a brown leghorn, plus her egg color too, welsummers and Ameraucana crosses usually yield Olive Eggers. She is Beautiful tho, I have one that is feathering out just like...

    Lol my husband laughs at me. I will be walking around the yard with 16 chickens hot on my trail. I wonder if she has welsummer in her. I have checked all the Ameraucana standard colors and she doesn't match. A true mutt EE. She has slate legs and lays pale blue eggs. Maybe her daddy was...
