Amera

I bought these two as SR chicks at TSC. I knew the chances were slim on getting a hen so I just got two advertised as Ameraucanas. The Silkies I got ended up a good three hen to one roo. My question is are these guys really Ameraucanas? Or are they EEs? I have one EE hen, 2 black sex links who free range and 4 ISA brown hens for eggs.

I believe those are easter egger cockerels. Tractor supply lists their easter eggers as americaunas.

Huh. My TSC told me they never get Americaunas, just EE. I mean, same outcome, but... I guess the employees at this one are better informed.

Well they had an Ameraucanas sign. I didn’t much pay attention to it being truthful too well most are EEs at tractor supply. If I sell these two what do you think is a fair price? Very easy to handle. I could butcher them but would rather sell.

Depends where you live. Not many people pay for roosters. Here they sell them for $5. If you need to get rid of them quick then you may have to just give them away.

TSC gets their chickens from Hoovers. If you look up Hoover's AmerIcana, they say that they will lay blue, green, brown or pinkish. This indicates that they're easter eggers. Also, the green legs is a huge indicator of easter egger over ameraucana. Note how I spelled that, the true breed is ameraucana. Feed lots and hatcheries that don't sell true, spell it Americana. Also, ameraucana MUST have muffs and beard, which the one in the foreground don't have.
That said, what are these guy's ages? Do you have a pic from the side, full body?
