ameracauna?

[Rikus]

I was sold this as an ameracauna but it laid a white slightly green tinted egg? And i couldn't find this color on the approved list help!

Easter Egger. The only sources for true Ameraucana are Meyer Hatchery and breeders breeding to the APA standard. Feed stores and most hatcheries have Easter Eggers, marketed as pure Ameraucana. Many people acquire these birds thinking they are real Ameraucana, breed them, and sell the chicks as pure Ameraucana; never knowing or realizing that the birds aren't what they think they are.

Her egg

Definitely an EE, Ameraucanas do not have those colors.

 

[junebuggena]

She's a non-standard color. That alone makes her an Easter Egger.

 

[Rikus]

That is what i figured thanks do you think her eggs will get darker? That was her first

 

[Picklesquidly]

Probably not; usually eggs don't change color.

There may be a slight difference in shade from her first egg in a cycle, to the last egg in her cycle, but it won't be very noticeable.
