Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

Yeah I saw this before. Its a shame. People wonder why AM breeders get so upset about EE.....................

are these am's or ee's? like i said, still learning and don't know the differents yet so what am i looking at?

There is so much wrong that I could probably write a 10 page paper on it. First of all the rooster has a single comb. He is not blue, he is not even a color that is accepted. I looked like all the hens were also varieties that were not accepted. I didn't even pay attention to the legs, it was so obvious that they were EE.

EE are great for an egg flock, but don't misrepresent your chickens. It belittles all of the efforts of people who are trying really hard to breed to the Standard of Perfection.

yeah and they got real mad at me when I messaged them to tell them what they had.

http://[IMG]http://i1281.photobucke...i_lauren/IMAG3853-1-1-1_zps79b5178f.jpg[/IMG]so tell me all the issues with my boy and the good lol, but I want to know what I need to correct. I've got two pullets coming from Paul in Nov to put him with. He is still young, hatched April 16 2012

This is amazing. I have a roo that could be a twin to yours. (At first i thought it was my picture). My laptop is being fixed. I don't know how to move things around on this iPad. Maybe colors are the same. Can't wait until I can put the 2 photos side by side. He's nice looking to me but I'm not a judge.

the ones on the ebay add where the typical Hatchery Ameraucana aka Easter egger. I love easter eggers the problem is with the fact it is misleading people. There may be 1 add on ebay now that has legit ameraucana the rest are easter eggers.

i think i do see the differents between them, the comb and the leg colors catch the eye first

Hi Sharron! Sorry so long until I could message back. Well yes those two things are big items to notice. The other big thing is the colors of the chicken. If you go to the Ameraucana Breeders website they have reference photos. There are also project colors. If you are unsure of anything, just ask. We can help.
