Thanks, Jean. So they HAVE added some since my book came out. That's good. Looks like I need a new S.O.P!​

Alrighty, I chased down our bird in question and cornered her on top of the run, where she then posed like a teenaged girl for her prom picture. Here is Iti, our EE who might actually be an Ameraucana:

and a better pic of her stance:

Let me know what you guys think. I'm seriously considering entering her into the county fair coming up in two weeks. I don't want to show up just to give the judges something to laugh at.

Also, for those of you who have shown your birds, would having one wing clipped disqualify her?

she looks like a Silver Ameraucana....thats my guess, but what do i know...nada

I have an EE from Privett hatchery that looks just like her.

It seems to me that a clipped wing is DQ. She is very pretty and makes me want some like her for my flock.

That's the boat I'm in as well (different hatchery tho). It's common knowledge that hatcheries just sell people EEs when they offer Ameraucanas, but I cannot personally see any differences in my bird, and a purebred. She is only now considering laying at 21 weeks, so I havn't gotten an egg from her yet. If it's green I'll have my answer, but if it's blue I'm going to be scratching my head in confusion for ages!

Not really. I have several Ameraucanas from top breeders who lay a green egg.

She is an ee, her color is not correct for a silver ameraucana, close but not correct.
