Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

[MrsBachbach]

Thanks! You could be right. I'm gonna check against the chart. I forgot about that. They are both very different shades of green? for sure. Hope your right. Will let you know.

Next time you are looking for an Ameraucana, ask the breeder what color he raises or the color of his "ameraucana". If he doesn't know or says lots of color, then he has EE's. There are eight recognized colors in Ameraucana and you can find that information at the above link in the other post. Look under the "photos" section. There you will see what colors there are and what they should look like as chicks or adults. Now, there are some breeders that are working on new colors like lavender and Ameraucana do come in splash (which I love) even though that is not a recognized color, but, generally a person selling a true Ameraucana will be able to tell you what color they raise.

They do tend to look green until you put them in the grass!

Ok will do. Good advice! Thanks

I'm sorry to tell you she is an EE, not an ameraucana.

OK this is my new Ameraucana pullet that laid her 1st egg several days ago, the 2nd one 2 days after that & another one today 3 days after the 2nd, they are blue! Does she look like a "pure" Ameraucana?

Yes, she does and she has lovely egg color.

Yes she does look pure. Where did you get her from?

Ok thanks you guys. I guess I'm just gonna give up on getting an Ameraucana - I'm tired of people swearing they're Ameraucana & pullets. I now have 5 EE's & have had to get rid of 3 others that ended up being roos. I get too attached to them for one thing & hate giving them up. I'm thinking there are no honest people left!

I have purebred, but my pullets just started to lay; I'll have chicks and started birds available next spring. My black cockerel was reserve Any Other Standard Bred and my blue was Reserve Show Champion at the AZ State Fair last month. I will be taking them and a couple of pullets to the show in Tucson in a couple weeks. Also Pam & Cody Padilla, who I got hatching eggs from will also be there.

Love the color of your eggs. Mine have been regular layers, like your schedule, and one lays a beautiful blue green and the other lays a very light blue egg. Still do not know which hen lays the light blue. I am hoping for some eggs the color of yours.

To: jajeanpierre: Angie-fowlrus- in Schertz. I know she goes to some of the shows with several of her breeds. I got an EE from her last year that lays an olive colored egg-not now-molting

Thank you MrsBachbach, I'm so excited to finally get a blue egg layer to go with my other colorful layers
