Would you please point out to me the auctions for Ameraucana eggs on Ebay. I just scanned Hatching Eggs on Ebay and found none. EE's are not Ameraucanas, as the Ameraucana Police would be quick to point out.​

Also, pay attention on eBay to the details of parentage. Even if the parents are "true" Ameraucanas, if both parents aren't of the same color, the offspring will be considered EE's. A true silver or true white cock mated with a red/brown hen, for example, produces a pretty EE.....but not an Ameraucana.

SusanJoM makes a great point. I have seen several sellers with "pure" and "true" ameraucanas, but the listing will say that all the colors are in a pen together, which leaves you with nothing other than an easter egger. If the listing doesn't say, ask.

Will you have another dozen or so B/BW eggs next week?

 

[Jayare's Chicks]

I'll try to post a couple for you to look at (if this works). Let me know if any of these would be EE's or real Ameraucanas.

See if these links worked.

Well I see the links didn't appear but it has the item # so maybe that can be looked up to see if they would end up being EE or Ameraucanas.

Well, as for the blue partridge, that is not a recognized color for a true Ameraucana and the second auction states they have been bred for egg color not exhibition, and variety of colors means they have the colors mixed. So the answer if either are true Ameraucana, I would have to say no.
The accepted colors are as follows:
Black, Blue, Blue Wheaten, Brown Red, Buff, Silver, Wheaten & White
Krista
edited to say that means they are EE

As Krista already said, neither of those auctions is going to get you Ameraucanas.

I asked Jean to look at the Blue/Partridge pictures, when they were offered before, and she was able to point out rather a lot of problems with them, that would detract even if the B/P were to be recognized -- which it is not at this time.

As to the eggs from the "no pinks" offering, I have ordered and hatched those eggs, and they are very nice EE's. Much bigger than the "true" Ameraucanas that hatched on the same day, and probably going to be beautiful birds....just NOT Ameraucanas.....which I hadn't quite figured out when I bid, but which was my own fault for being undereducated at that point. And anyway, EE's are delightful, practical, easy and altogether wonderful chickens.
