Thanks! What about these two ladies? Constance decided to pose for a photo shoot just now, and the little girl in the second photo (sold as Americauna) is Petunia (9 weeks old).

HAAAA! I love it "Amerau-Kindas" That's great. We aren't super-concerned about what breeds we have, because we are just enjoying our funny chicken ladies so much. But we did originally choose them so that we would get an amusing variety of egg colors. Blue and green will suit me just fine And I loooooove Constance's coloring. Her rose-colored feathers are so pretty.She has green legs, that is an EE.
TSC in Michigan gets most their birds from Townline in Zeeland,
they market their EE's as Araucana/Ameraucana.
I call them AmerauKindas. haha!
They're good birds overall, all the ones I've gotten lay blue or green.
First thought was stance could be a bit maleish....comb is pretty bright for 9 weeks too.Aart look at that second bird. Do the saddle and hackle feathers look sharp? I think it's a cockerel.
Yeah, I'm pretty happy with mine...after I got (mostly)over being ticked about the false advertising that is perpetually disseminated. Pet peeve of many folks....and many will correct it, so best use the handle EE...or AmerauKinda.HAAAA! I love it "Amerau-Kindas" That's great.

Oh, well, we have one on this 9-week batch that is DEFINITELY a male. They were all supposed to be pullets, but the one I know is male has a HUGE bright comb, and is starting to develop the most amazing tail feathers with droop and brightly colored, iridescent green ones mixed in. Compared to that one, this little one looks quite mild and plain. I'll see if I can get them to stand together for a photo shoot :-DFirst thought was stance could be a bit maleish....comb is pretty bright for 9 weeks too.
Closeup of comb, clear pic from straight on, might tell the maletale.
Too soon for hackles and saddles tho, it'll be molting in a few weeks or so,
then the pointy shiny ones may come out.
I don't understand why anyone would falsely advertise the variety of chickens. Anyone who couldn't tell by looking what they're getting probably doesn't care that much about the specific variety (like me). And anyone who is very definitely looking for a pure specimen of a particular breed will be much more careful, going through known reputable breeders. So why not just call the chickens what they actually are in the stores and everyone will be happy? Aart, I think you must live fairly close to me ...

There are many different patterns on them, all are quite lovely.
