Are your ee's Americanas or Araucanas? I live in SW VT and am interested in adding to our flock. Currently, we have 11 pullets (5 RIR and 6 Red Sex Link) that are 5+ wks. old.

Ameraucanas and Auracanas are not the same as Easter eggers.

First, a note about Ameraucanas vs. Araucanas. Both breeds lay eggs with shells colored various shades of blue, have pea combs, and should have red earlobes. Beyond that few similarities exist in specimens meeting the requirements of recognized poultry standards. Perhaps 99 percent of chickens sold as Araucanas (or Ameraucanas) by commercial hatcheries are actually mongrels, meeting the requirements of neither breed.

The Ameraucana breed has a tail and sports muffs and beard in the facial area. These characteristics are true-breeding. The Ameraucana breed was formulated and standardized, primarily in the north central U.S., to provide a colored egg fowl possessing more practical and true-breeding characteristics. Ameraucanas were recognized as a separate and distinct breed in the early 1980's by the A.P.A. and by the A.B.A.

Eight varieties have been recognized by both organizations since 1984. They are: Black, Blue, Blue-wheaten, Brown-red, Buff, Silver, Wheaten, and White.

Easter Egg Chickens are colored-egg-laying mutts that do not meet the standard for either breed. If you got your chickens from a feed store or any major hatchery, they are almost certainly easter eggers. They may lay blueish or greenish eggs, but they may also lay brown, pinkish-brown, tan, grayish, or even white eggs. They do not have any standardized color varieties -- almost every bird will have different colors and patterns. Some have muffs & beards and some do not. You may see different kinds of combs and different colors of legs. They are medium-sized and all will have tails. It is rare that an easter egg chicken from a hatchery or feed store resembles any recognized color variety. Easter egg chickens are not a real breed, but instead a fun, friendly, colored-egg-laying mongrel.
