Ameraucana or Easter Eggers?

[Kasey]

Doesn't really matter which to me. I would just like to know what I have. They were sold to me as Ameraucanas. Here are some pics of them at 2 and 3 weeks. I cant believe how fast they are growing!!

They look like Easter Egger's. Where did you get them from?

 

[Kasey]

From a local feed store. Their "we have chicks" sign was from Purina but they did have some chicks from Ideal.

What makes them Easter Eggers opposed to Ameraucanas?

 

[farmerChef]

Thier color, and that they came from a hatchery

this is my amercauna roo..i think you may have easter eggers...but they are good chickens too.

You'd need to find a breeder to get Ameraucanas. Hatchery chicks are meant to resemble the stated breed, not be show quality. Unfortunately, they don't come all that close with these.

Yeah, I have 2 beardless ones, but I only kept the ones that lay green/olive eggs. That is what I got them for after all.

They also kind of do the same thing with turkens, they have a bunch of different colors mixed together that have necked necks.

These are Easter Eggers. For more information on what features a true Ameraucana needs to have, a good resource is this site: www.ameraucana.org.
