Ameraucana lays brown eggs

[FarmerMack]

Last summer a tourist left 3 RIR's and 1 Ameraucana (pepper) with me as he couldnt bring them back to the city he lived in. One is an Ameraucana that lays brown eggs. Is she not a purebred or is she just lacking the gene to lay colored eggs. I'm not complaining as she regularly lays double yolk eggs just always big and brown

It's not an Ameraucana at all, sorry. You have to get those from a breeder. Hatchery stock are Easter Eggers, a mix of breeds that supposedly have the blue egg gene, but as we all have seen, can lay any color eggs. He probably got her from a hatchery. They're still fun birds.

More than likely a easter egger. Do you have any pics?
