Easter Egger club!

[simmworksfamily]

So I was just told that my Ameraucana was an Easter Egger and would LOVE to know what you guys think of her

Here she is when we first got her at 3 weeks to a photo I took of her two day ago (most photos include her buddy Red, our RIR):










(this is what we call ChickenTV - pure entertainment for the kids as they try and get as close to inside the house as the possibly can. We're in trouble if they figure out the doggy door!)

and two days ago:







I can upload better photos if needed. These were just the ones I had access to.

Splash is two copies of the blue dilute gene. The blue dilute gene affects black coloring. If a bird has black feathering, it doesn't have a blue gene. Black and white birds are actually genetically 'silver' which is dominant and sexedlinked.

If you don't mind, you seem to be a good person to ask, What makes a true Ameraucana? I paid top $ for 4 Ameraucana's from a supposed BREEDER.
I latter found out from here that I had EE's. At first I was very mad cause I wanted Ameraucana and I paid for Ameraucana. but I have come to love my EE's. I still want Ameraucana's but am too scared to buy due to people SAYING they are when they really are not, plus I lost a good amount of money and don't want to do that again, I have looked them up online and seen pic's that looked like 1 of my hens, so maybe 1 is? Just dont know how to check. She is white has breaded face Green legs and lays a nice sz Blue egg, the rest of them lay green and olive eggs.
O and what is Sexlinked?

Oh I don't mind one bit! She's an amazing girl and super sweet. We jumped into this chicken business for the experience and weren't too set on what type of chickens we wanted.

Tell me about it! They've been watching the dog go through for quite some time and every now and again will go give it a peck to see what it does. Maybe one day!

Ameraucana have muffs, beards, pea combs, slate legs, white skin, and lay blue eggs. Ameraucana only come in a handful of colors. A good breeder, breeding to standard, will keep each color variety separate and can tell you exactly which approved standard color you are buying. Easter Eggers are cross breeds that may or may not have a blue egg gene. Easter Eggers might lay any color egg, there are no guarantees. Easter Eggers can be any color/pattern combination. Lots of people get 'Ameraucana" from hatcheries, not realizing they aren't the real thing. Then they breed them and sell the chicks as pure Ameraucana. Your white one might be an approved color, but the green legs means that she has yellow skin.
