Ameraucana vs. Easter Egger

[RoostersAreAwesome]

I like them both too.

It's because Ameraucana are pure that I'm leaning to them.
And possibly slightly because the spelling was correct.

Snowbelle is appalled.
She isn’t mine, but I took the picture. I prefer EEs because they have a more varied appearance.

Love both EE's and Ameraucanas... but gonna have to say EEs. Love my mutts!

I've only kept EEs, but I like how they have more of a variety in plumage and egg colors. They are so friendly and sweet, and have adorable muffs!

I am EE through and through!
I know, my boy, Blossom was a sweet half-blind white EE!
Blossom is on the right, he's white, and his brother Mary, a Welsummer, is on the left, big and red!
Both decaesed.

Here's my current (living) baby girl, Freya!
She's EE/Red Star mix!

And her father Ezra!
Orange man on the right, grannie on the left.

Last, but my favorite, next to Freya, is Amy!
My first EE hen!

 

[RoosterWhisperer]

Amy is, and will always be my baby!
I stand with her!

Wow! Look how well this thread took off!

Easter Eggers! I have an ameraucana, and she is the absolute worst. Super flighty and skittish, and screams whenever I pick her up. None of my other chickens screech like she does when I hold them. Most of my EEs are friendly, smart, and will sit in my arms if I pick them up. They all have such unique personalities too!

Legbars are better than both though.

I ADORE EEs, but if I could only get my hands on an ameraucana... If I had to choose between them, I'd definitely get an ameraucana, right? Not some TSC Ameracana?

*cause that's the only way I'd trust that I have one!
