Thanks for the response. Good luck with hopefully hatching some chicks!

These appear pure. But they don't look great.

I did order these, so I guess I’m getting 5 EEs. Thank you for the input, I do appreciate it. I will read your article.

Maybe they can change to the blues if you want.

No they’re not bred to the SOP. McMurray has had a flock of Ameracaunas since before the breed was accepted by the APA, so they have non standard colors and such. I kind of think it it like Border Collies vs farm collies in the UK. They look similar, but only the Border Collie can be entered into Crufts.

Thanks

I had one that was all black with a yellow chest too. I gave her to my mom for a gift.

Does she have other chicks?

Here's what we got that was sold to us as an Ameraucana from a place that sources from McMurray. I'll post the sign they had out too. The person selling them asked if we wanted bearded or not and we chose not.

She appears to have a rose comb and is coming in laced. She looks to be a blue laced red wyandotte.

Hm. Well. We got one of those too. Do I have them mixed up? Here's the chick that I thought was a Wyandotte.

Have more pics? Can’t really see her comb but do see green eggs. EE is my guess.

Make a thread and tag me in it and I can help you, or post them here and I can. I don’t really care if you put on my thread.

Ok here's everyone - don't judge the scrapbook look lol.
First a maybe Blue Laced Red Wyandotte, then two Niederrheiners that I am now told are cockerels. Then the barred rock, then the not-a-buff orpington, then this maybe not an Ameraucana
