I've heard its hard to get true ameraucanas - are they purebred from Meyer Hatchery? I have some chicks from there and am wondering if they are true ameraucanas?

If they're labeled Americana, they're EEs.Could you post some pictures of them? It is super hard to get pure Americaunas, is what i have heard to. I had bought 2 Americaunas from the local feed store near me they both turned out to be Easter Eggers but looked something like a americauna.
Perfect I thought they were. I ordered them as ameraucanas (not an assortment) and paid like $22/chick. So assumed they were pure but then saw lots of posts about how it’s hard to find true ameraucanas and was worried. Their legs are the slate color. I will try to get pics in a bit. I have some other chicks that like to hog the spotlight when the phone camera comes outMeyer does sell purebreds, they're $40 a pop, that's why it's hard to get some by accident.
Can you post pictures of your chicks? Did you order a mystery package?
What color are their legs?
Mine cost over $20 each and were labeled as ameracauna. That's why I bought them. I am fairly sure they are pure/true but was just verifying theirs are.If they're labeled Americana, they're EEs.
They have some actual Ameraucana chicks and some EEs/AmericaunasFYI for those looking at McMurrays who claim on the FAQ that theirs are true Americaunas, and not EE. some have beards or muffs or both and $4 a chick, your getting an EE.
they are all priced the same from what I see. How do they specify?They have some actual Ameraucana chicks and some EEs/Americaunas
They're specific colors. I'll check when I get home to be sure but pretty sure it's Murray McMurraythey are all priced the same from what I see. How do they specify?
