One that doesn't look like MY Ameraucana??

Just so long as you don't call your Buff and Or-FING-ton, you will do fine in chicken circles!

Yes, BO and EE.

I will say this though, I have noticed that the roosters only hop on the girls who are or are about to lay. Now that I am not getting eggs for this lovely short daylight season, the roos are only on the two or three that are laying, like my little black Silkie named Flapper who just started after the first snowfall. Silly girl.

I wonder if that is S.O.P.? I will have to keep an eye on my roo to see which girls he is after. Maybe it'll help me figure out which are laying for sure?

There is a difference between a non-standard AM and a EE.

A non-standard Ameraucana is when you cross two different Am colors, or it at least has the characteristics of an AM more than other breeds.... Her bird is a mutt.
