Help..!! Are my pullets true ameraucanas??

[Celia626777]

So I bought these three baby chicks from a backyard breeder who claimed they were ameraucanas, however, as they grew I started to see they don’t look like anything online that’s purebred. Can someone help? True or not true ameraucanas?

Nope....not even close

Those are easter eggers, an Ameraucana cross

I'm afraid that's a no. Sorry. Ameraucanas should never have yellow skin or feet.

But omg! They are so cute. If you don't want Easter egger girls, I can pick them up tomorrow. LOL.
Seriously, sorry you were deceived. (But they really are beautiful pullets.)

Thank you so much. I had a feeling but just couldn’t tell. I’m very happy with these girls tho, by far they are the sweetest girls I’ve ever had )

To give the benefit of the doubt, its entirely possible the seller was ignorant of the truth. This is what happens when hatcheries/retailers misrepresent birds....person a gets them, believes what they are told and sell birds as such to person b.....not all misrepresenting is malicious, just ignorance

I'm real partial to my EEs too, aren't they great? Mine have green legs and feet.
