    What kind of Ameraucana do I have?

    Not the point I was trying to make… project ameraucana varieties are ameraucanas that have every single physical characteristic of a true Ameraucana except the plumage color. Lavender Ameraucanas were once a project variety that the APA accepted not too long ago. McMurray is not intentionally...

    What kind of Ameraucana do I have?

    Even though large fowl splash Ameraucanas aren’t APA recognized by their feather plumage, they are still a true Ameraucana in every other way. Other varieties that aren’t APA recognized but still true are Isabel, mottled, and other project varieties. They match the APA standard in every way...

    What kind of Ameraucana do I have?

    That website only lists the Ameraucana shape requirements. The APA mentions slate/blue shanks here…. https://amerpoultryassn.com/2021/10/large-fowl-splash-ameraucana-approval-process/ And @TillyPeeps linked the other article I was going to link so you can check that one too.

    What kind of Ameraucana do I have?

    She’s definitely adorable!! Don’t feel stupid though, it’s sucks that hatcheries try and label Easter eggers as Ameraucanas! However you will probably get a blue egg from her, just a lighter shade than a true Ameraucana lays! Most of the time Easter eggers do lay light blue/greenish eggs.

    What kind of Ameraucana do I have?

    She definitely has splash coloring. Are her legs a greenish tint with yellow skin under the feet? If so then she’s also an Easter egger! A very cute one though!!

    What kind of Ameraucana do I have?

    That’s definitely an Easter egger! True Ameraucanas are always labeled with their color variety when being sold, for example Lavender Ameraucana, BBS Ameraucana, white Ameraucana. I hate how hatcheries try and label Easter eggers as Ameraucanas, tricking the people who buy them! Easter eggers...
