Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

It's one of the hens I just got, hopefully my pullets will lay like this!

Very gorgeous! Are your pullets from the same line as the hen? Just curious, lol...

Thanks you! Yes they are

Never guarantees, but that does weigh it out better, lol...

May I join the club? I have three blue ameraucanas, one project color, and the rest. I'm not really sure about! Could you help me out?

And then my blues and too

My first Ameraucana egg! What a difference between that and my Easter Eggers!!!

Amazing color! I'll be getting an Incubator next year, If you decide to sell hatching eggs please keep me in mind! Lol

Technically all of them are Easter eggers except for the blues.

Why would you call the pale ones Easter eggers? They're getting the odd blue feather, so they might very well be splash. As for the others, I saw the parents, and they are purebred, standard colored ameraucanas. Wouldn't a non standard ameraucana still be... An ameraucana?

no because it's not standard. It is not a predictable color pattern. I have a blue hen but my rooster is blue wheaten. They do not recognize this cross because the results will be all over the place. The chicks must look a certain way at hatch as well at maturity. Those chicks will be considered EEs.

I don't really understand that... In any other species, even if the color is not correct, or can not be registered, it's still considered that breed if the parents are purebred. Why is it different for ameraucanas?

First three pics don't look like Ameraucana. The fourth pic could be splash, time will tell.
