Ok, I need help identifying these ones, ******* closed *******

I don't really mean to "stir the pot" but your rooster looks like this Silver Ameraucana from the club pages to me:

So where did he come from?

 

[shay20]

I got him free from someone, he needed a new home, i got him full grown.

The gentleman that i got him from found him outside his house with another one, he was laying on the side of the rode hurt, they nursed him back to health.

Mine has gold in him though. but yea just like that one, but with gold.

Ok in the link they show a rooster that has the same piece of feathers on the head as my black roo, and every one thinks he is a 4 way mix.

And i found out that the breeder was creating an European Araucana?

In that link.. those ARE European Araucanas.

Though he may look similar to the Siilver ones, he is not the same. Look at the true Silver Ameraucana. He has a distinct pattern. Black feathers under white feathers. I think it's called Silver Duckwing. Yours has a mix of black and white feathers all around. Not a recognized color. I guarantee if you bred him with the same hen and hatched all eggs from them, that you will get different colored chicks. That happened to me when I bred my White Silkie roo with my EE hen. Though I only hatched two eggs, both are different colors.

he isnt colored quite right an ameraucana has to have lighter legs i have two EEs and i love them bunches but i have real ameraucanas as well and the differences are great if you took an EE then took an ameraucana and put them in the same pen you could really tell the difference!!! and the bottom of there feet are lighter! You hav an EE its nothing to be ashamed of if you go to my thread prettest EE youll find all kinds of people who have EE's i breed ameraucanas and i have a pair of EE's i keep around just too see what color of chick they will make next!! just dont get discouraged real ameraucanas arent that hard to find i no some people if you need any and i will have real BBS ameraucana eggs next spring!

I hatched a couple and they come out all silver and white. Let me see if i can find a pic.

I was just saying that the babys look nothing like the momor dad.

I think i posted him on there. lol
I love him no matter he is a real character , he is actually a means to me, but something about him, just makes me not care that he likes to bite me. lol

I just wanna know the difference about them.

 

[shay20]

Here we go, this is a baby from them. The first pics i posted.
The head looks an eagle. You should see the other one, that i dont have, way more white on the head.

Your roo looks exactly like mine, but mine is younger. The way I understand it. Americanas are also called EEs, they have beards and tails and can be mixed assorted colors or some specific colors. The true Araucanas are the rare ones, they have ear muffs and no tails.

True Araucanas have tuffs, not muffs.
