Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

How can you guys tell that both are EE's?? Explain please

 

[lildinkem]

EE's are an Ameraucana that's coloring is not an accepted color for the standard. It is like breeding a Black Orp to a Buff Orp. The offspring are still Orps, but not a standard variety accepted by the APA

Ok that makes sense...Thanks for the info.

Well, there's a bit more to it than just an off-color Ameraucana. Some don't even have Ameraucana in the bloodlines.

Is this a splash wheaten pullet?

And a pic of some in the brooder... LLcorner is one of five Wheaten roos... also pictured a BWA X Leghorn EE, 3 GC Maran crosses and some FBCMs

It looks like a blue wheaten pullet to me. Here is a picture of my splash pullet at about the same age.

Now I've got to go out and get another pic... I have another that looks almost like that.

 

[chicken stalker]

here's one more so you have a time line of what to look for.

Same pullet a couple weeks later. Pardon the wet face
