Ameraucana Contest! **Winners Announced**

Quote:
If they came from a hatchery or feed store they are EEs. You can only get true Ameraucanas from private breeders. I've heard there is a hatchery or two now that got stock from private breeders, and sell those chicks seperately from their EEs, but frankly, I still wouldn't trust them.
Please don't feel bad about your girls being EEs. They are beautiful. I still have a couple of EE hens, and at 3 years old they are some of my best layers. It is sad that the hatcheries won't fess up, and still sell their EEs as Ameraucanas or even Araucanas. They are being purposely deceptive to their customers. And LOTS of Ameraucana breeders started out with EEs before they knew the difference.

1 last Question. I really like that Blue-eyed Cockeral. Could I trust Him/Her as a source of chicks/eggs? That's a private breeder, I guess. Thanks.

Yes. Though you should know that the eyes don't stay blue, so don't expect blue eyed adults.

Birch Run's tag line says only wheaten and blue wheaten Ameraucanas, so if those are the colors you're interested in, that'd be the way to go!

Teddy was very young in that pic, I took some more today of him and his siblings, they are three months old now and the eye color is different. You should know that many breeds have a different eye color as chicks. These babies will have correct eye color at maturity. I'll post some new photos if they came out later! Which I hope they did, Teddy looks much different!
