Are the ameracaunas from ideal pure ameracaunas?

or are they EE's?

EEs

Definitely EEs. Hatcheries don't carry pure Ameracaunas, so if you're after some you'll have to find a breeder to get yours from.

What is the difference? Do you have pics?

 

[eggboy]

The difference between EE's (Easter eggers) and ameracaunas is ee's are an ameracuana mix, but they still usually lay blue or green eggs.

Myy EE's all lay green eggs, the ameraucanas lay blue ones.

Here is a huge thread just about Ameracaunas. Enjoy!

I've seen a couple (out of 5) Ideal EEs that layed blue eggs. I have 13 7-week old Ideal EE pullets now...can't wait to see what they lay.

My EE's from Cackle lay blue and green eggs.

No hatchery sells real Ameraucanas.

If you look up "diffference EE Ameraucana" there are plenty threads that show you how to tell the difference. To some people it is hard. The easiest rule of thumb is if you got it from a reputable breeder vs a hatchery or someone who spells the name wrong.
