    EE, Ameraucanas, Araucana, mutts--my rant.

    I rather like that smilie myself, LOL. From the OP's first post: I just don't understand... This seems like such an easy thing to correct and the confusion would not be so wide spread.. It's sorta like having dogs that are mix breed and someone selling them as pure breeds JUST because it has...

    EE, Ameraucanas, Araucana, mutts--my rant.

    this is why if you order 100 EE chicks from a hatchery you will even get a few rumpless birds, most will lay blue eggs, Not really sure that's true. It would be a very rare occurrence to get a truly rumpless EE from a hatchery and seems that most EEs lay green eggs or bluish-green rather than...

    EE, Ameraucanas, Araucana, mutts--my rant.

    All tact aside, I really still have no idea why people are insulted over a chicken. It's a chicken, folks. No one insulted someone's mother, for goodness sake. "Mutt" is not an insult, it's a simple, short word that replaces longer words or phrases. I can go on and on about how beautiful...

I have some mutts in my own flock, tinted/colored egg layers and otherwise and I have...

    I hesitate to post in these threads because I just do not understand why people get so darn upset when they are told the facts about the breed of chicken that they have. The pullet in the above picture is not a Silver Ameraucana. She is a beautiful Easter Egger and there is absolutely nothing...

    EE, Ameraucanas, Araucana, mutts--my rant.

    Quote: The hatchery didn't tell you the truth, Ginger. And the website I think you're talking about is not a legitimate one. Its tongue in cheek. Now, mutt just means mixed breed. If you prefer, you can call them MBCs, i.e. Mixed Breed Chicken. It's not an insult and I do not know why you and...

    I think you misunderstood, Eric-mille fleur is the color. The lady the previous poster was speaking to insisted it was the breed.
