Are my birds true Ameraucana or Easter eggers?

[whiterooster]

From what i see your birds are Amaucanas. Which is also easter-eggers.That's just another name for them. The true ARAUCANA originated from Chile.They have no tails or beards,only tuffs and lay the sky blue egg. Randy from, Randysroosters Inc.

As several people mentioned - Ameraucanas and EE's are not the same thing. Here's a page that should help explain it all...

easter eggers are mutts, ameraucana are a recognized APA breed.

all of them look like pullets, the browns are EE and the splash may be an ameraucana. My Ameraucana are almost 6 months and still aren't laying, although the roos keep trying to grab them

I think your splash might be an Ameraucana as well.

Krista, it is a good sign when the boys start grabbing the girls. They usually know something is up with those girlies. Look for eggs in the next week to two.

My Ameraucanas hatched at the end of July finally started laying.

Mine hatched June 29 and STILL isn't laying!

But she finally let my Golden Lakenvelder catch her today...

If you look on the Ameraucana website there is a breeders list. There are also people on here that have them.

Thanks, you guys! All my birds came from feed stores. So I believe they are EE's. As for Whitey, the Splash she lays green eggs. And I've had her almost 2 years. She's my favorite! The only one that can be loved on! So, No mystery there she must be an EE. Gosh, these birds are confusing.

The brown/black one is a female EE and the splash could be a true Ameraucana, but as another posted said, if you got them from the same place, chances are they are both EE's.
