Does anyone have "real" americaunas ... since it seems the ones at the feed stores are mutts??? If so I would love to buy one (and what colors do you have) ... but will have to convince my hubby we need one too LOL!

Alrighty! Glad that was posted. Turns out I have Easter Eggers. That doesn't bother me in the least, but it bugs me that they sold me one thing and called it something else.

Okay, now I really want one (either blue or splash) ...

That is what I imagine my "americauna" is ... I'll have to see as she grows ... it doesn't really bother me either, except like you I would prefer to get what I think I'm getting. Also it would be nice to be able to predict what she will look like later other than just "a chicken". She is a super sweet chick and I'm sure she will be beautiful because as I have been researching I've seen a lot of really beautiful EEs. I read on here about the feed stores and americaunas under their breed thread. Mine is from Ideal Hatchery ... I called and asked which hatchery they order from, but can't really find if theirs are usually really the real thing or EE. Typing without contacts, hope not too many typos! So it also makes you wonder if most of the people on Craigslist who are selling "pure americaunas" are really selling EEs and don't know the difference. I mean if I ordered "americaunas" from a hatchery and started breeding them / raising chicks, that's what I would expect them to be and I'm sure I would advertise them as pure until someone educated me. Since we won't have a roo until we get an acre (probably 5 years) ... it isn't an issue. We just want yummy eggs, and beautiful healthy chickens. Blue eggs would be super fun too.

Oh, it's too funny. My son has been carrying Evie (RIR) around on his shoulder like a parrot - LOL!

But the good news is the feeder is "done" and it works

. I assembled it to make adjustments but then took it apart again to put a couple coats of finishing on and then the weekend was gone...

No snow in Wickenburg but close to 1/2 inch rain over the weekend. Pretty cold this morning. My apple trees were in full bloom and I am afraid that was it for the crop this year
