Are the AMERICAUNAS from IDEAL hatchery ACTUALLY Americaunas?

[fushalilly]

Or are they mutts (EE's) ?

I ordered one Americauna hen, never had one before.

They are EEs. I've seen many of them.

Yep, they are EEs, not ameraucanas. I have one from ideal, and shes a great bird.

Shes stocky, and lays a great egg, and is beautiful - shes colored up kinda like a welsummer hen. Shes quiet and smart too. You should love her

 

[EweSheep]

Yes, it is an EE. Some of Ideal's EEs were blues, the ones I had and boy are they goreous! Sweet personality too and some are too laid back as well. Nice green egg layers.

ALL hatcheries are EE's except for breeders that are in the Amercuana Club. To find the "real" thing, go look at the Amercuana Club and you will find some good breeders in there. Some of the BYCers like Pips are very serious breeders and you should go to them.

All commercial hatcheries sell easter eggers.

A small breeder can still be a hatchery, but sell real ameraucanas. I am hoping to get listed as a hatchery soon.

but i thought a real ameraucana has a beard and the tufts and a tail but the EE's have green legs

I just want to express how much I love my second-hand EE

She is just the biggest sweetie with so much personality. My neighbors are fascinated by her dog-like cuddly behavior. haha
