Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

I know this is the only place I can post this and have anyone appreciate it and not think me too much of a prim jerk: I hate it when people try to talk up their AmerIcaunas... If you KNOW what you are doing you would spell it the RIGHT WAY. They can't be too serious or professional about their breeding if they can't even spell it right. How is anyone who wants to learn going to know what's true and what isn't if folks who hold the pretense of knowing are passing out wrong information to make a buck!? Can you tell this really irritates me. Thank you for the room to vent.

In a way I agree. Americaunas are not Ameraucanas.. if you spell it that way you don't have the breed. Same with WheatEn and WheatOn. If you have Wheatons you don't have Ameraucanas... I wouldn't buy anything from people who spell it that way unless I wanted Easter Eggers.
 
Ha,ha, I feel the same way and the other irritation is "Maran"

I dont really know anything about marans, but I have seen people have much confusion over them lol.

Speaking of spelling wrong I saw someone spell it Wetens. No idea where they got that, but I wasn't about to begin an arugument especially about someting I wasnt even interested in.

oops..... I'm an Wheaton offender, I think, lol..... I just recently got into them and am still having to look up the name, but sometimes when I'm in a hurry, I have an oopsie...;-P lol

I have a few blue wheatens in the incubator waiting to hatch. I'm a nervous wreck! The egg color is stunning!!(I sell fresh eggs only for eating)

Ameraucana's are my absolute favorite breed in all the chicken breeds. I joined the ABC for two years.

I hope in a few days I'll have new photos to share with you.

The issue is that phones autocorrect wheaten to "Wheaton," at least mine does. It's a pain to go back and undo the autocorrect every time! But I usually try to post from the computer so I don't have to deal with that!
