Thank you!
I purchased eggs from Nivtup....these are the only two I kept out of four. 3 roos...1 blue, 1 black and 1 splash and 1 blue pullet "Anne"
I decided to keep Art and Anne. Although it was very hard to sell the black roo, he was GORGEOUS, but my color preference and Art's very sweet disposition won.
Posted a close up photo of Anne...see orginal post.

Hope that doesn't happen to me I just sent 5 for one of them. I also hope they aren't as complicated as that araucana chart. The marans chart is easy I don't want to have to tell someone my eggs are between an A178 and a B543 ha ha. Well I hope mine comes anyway I think blue eggs might evan be harder than dark eggs each person sees blues and greens diffrently. Let's keep talking about this good discussion everyone!

I dont even think the check has been cashed yet, so havent really paid yet.. I have been checking ebay for them gonna have to do it again....

I did send him an e-mail the other day so maybe he will respond soon. I know its the holidays and things are busy for everyone. but if anyone knows where....

I paid with paypal so he has the money now hopefully they will be sent out soon.

Just wanted to post a picture of my Ameraucana, or at least I think he is. Let me know your opinions please. This awesome roo was one of those "free rare chicks" that McMurray throws in if you ask when you order.

Do you think he is a real Ameraucana or is he just one of those "Easter Egger" mutts? He has a pea comb and a magnificent beard.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Michael

Since he's from a hatchery, he's probably not pure despite his good looks and probably won't breed true, but from what I can tell he does have a nice Wheaten pattern overall and is a very handsome bird. As nice a bird as I've seen for an EE. I've seen a lot worse claimed to be pure!

Does he have slate (bluish) legs or willow (greenish)? Really nice looking fellow seriously! If Jean is around she might slap my hand for typing that, lol! ...but he really is very pretty. Would I use him in a serious breeding program, no, but if you have a mixed flock you need a rooster for, he's the man!

One question, was he a nice yellow or creamy white color as a chick or did he have a wild type (chipmunk) pattern? I'd guess he had a wild type pattern as most hatchery birds do, and that would confirm that he isn't pure for Wheaten.

McMurray doesn't sell purebred ameraucanas but he is beautiful none the less. Nice muff and coloring!

That is a gorgeous bird, most beautiful EE I have ever seen!

Now, I will slowly creep back away from the thread.....
