Ameraucana

Not Ameraucana

This debate has gone on forever. It is very very unlikely to find a pure Ameraucana anywhere except a breeder . The colors are blue, red brown, white, wheaten, black, buff silver, and blue wheaten as recognized colors. There are also splash and self blue these colors are not recognized yet. A very good way to be sure you have a Ameraucana is the egg will be blue inside the shell as well as outside. I say blue not a shade of green only blue.
Now the op is asking sex you have a pullet.

Also the correct spelling is Ameraucana.
I have raised nothing but Ameraucanas for a long time if anyone wants a reference you can look here

I currently have black Ameraucana and sell the birds and hatching eggs. Well the eggs after the molt

All my info I have learned has come from BYC I started out with too many roosters and @RoostersAreAwesome gave me the know how to keep my boys and I have 12 roos now and they live together with just as many girls it’s amazing im sorry I said a chicken was a breed that isn’t I call it a breed because what should I say I have mixed bread mutt birds
Ok I have a Americana mixed bread mutt
That’s a lot of extra words that sounds like I don’t like my birds.

Could you post an example? I haven't seen that before.


'Americanas' and 'americaunas' aren't breeds. They are just different words hatcheries use to describe easter eggers. Hatcheries breed easter eggers by doing EE x EE breedings and probably occasionally throwing in different breeds to increase egg laying, like leghorns and welsummers, which would explain why more and more EEs have no beard and lay white or brown eggs.
If you're sure you have purebred ameraucanas, do they have slate legs, lay blue eggs, and are a recognized color variety?

Here are my americaunas and americanas and araucanas maybe you could help me figure which are which please

View attachment 1583581 Americauna roosters are multi colored

Not blue ameraucana roosters. All Blue ameraucanas are blue.

Americanas are americaunas bread back with the araucana
And have completely different color patterns. I have a few of all 3 breeds
I even ended up with a rumpless Americana from tractor supply which I’ve never even seen before but it’s a beautiful bird.My Easter eggers are Orpington/americauna and I have 1 that’s black copper Maran/americauna
My Easter Eggers lay olive and pink eggs

If you are talking about the true Ameraucana breed, it does need to spell it right. There is no letter I.
Hatchery's use that spelling to make you think you are getting the true breed, but they are really just EEs

The rumpless rooster looks like an araucana. (He could also be a rumpless EE though. Where did you get him?) The others are all easter eggers

Ameraucana chickens are an actual breed, that will breed true.

Any other spelling variations (unless it's an accidental misspelling) as well as the term Easter Egger denote a chicken that is a mix of other breeds and therefore will not breed true and is a "mutt" if you want to call it that.
So we can't really help with IDing other than to say, yes those all appear to mixed with either Ameraucana or rumpless Araucana.
They're great chickens, my EEs are the reason I wanted to get some Purebred Ameraucanas
